0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

SQSP Themes operates as a niche e-commerce platform specializing in Squarespace plugins, templates, and integrations tailored for creatives, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. The website positions itself as a curated resource library to help businesses grow on the Squarespace platform. The business model focuses on digital product sales and providing tools to optimize and customize Squarespace websites. The company maintains a small but professional online presence with active marketing and social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, leveraging various modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Pinterest Tag, and third-party integrations such as Wiremo for reviews and Apollo for tracking. The site is hosted by Squarespace and employs HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring a secure browsing experience. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with a clean and consistent design. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good SSL configuration and uses security headers like HSTS. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could be improved. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and business information appear professional and consistent. Overall, SQSP Themes presents a credible and professional business with a solid technical foundation but should enhance its privacy compliance and transparency to improve trust and security posture. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security contact information, and ensuring WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

SQSP Themes targets a specialized market segment within the Squarespace ecosystem, offering plugins, templates, and integrations that enhance website functionality and user experience. The company leverages digital sales and marketing tools to reach creatives, freelancers, and entrepreneurs seeking to optimize their Squarespace sites. Its competitive advantage lies in curated offerings and integration with popular marketing and analytics platforms. The business model is primarily e-commerce focused, selling digital products and possibly subscriptions or licenses. Growth indicators include active social media channels and use of advanced tracking tools. The partnership ecosystem includes integrations with third-party services like Elfsight and SendOwl. The company operates from the United States and appears to be a small-sized enterprise with a focused niche presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party scripts for analytics and marketing is noted, though continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these dependencies is recommended. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, represents compliance and transparency gaps. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated, which could expose the business to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by formalizing privacy practices and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is accurate and publicly available to enhance legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.

Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
