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

Storefront.Design is a curated ecommerce design inspiration platform that showcases outstanding online storefronts updated weekly. It targets ecommerce designers, developers, and online store owners seeking creative inspiration. The website features a modern, clean design with a focus on usability and mobile responsiveness, leveraging technologies such as Next.js, React, and Sanity CMS hosted on Vercel. Analytics are implemented via privacy-focused services like Fathom and Vercel Analytics, indicating a moderate approach to user tracking. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which could be improved to enhance compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection for domain registration, which is common for this type of platform. Overall, the site is professional, well-maintained, and safe for general audiences.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

The platform operates in the niche ecommerce inspiration market, providing value by curating high-quality storefront designs from various industries such as fashion, technology, and homewares. Its business model revolves around content curation and community submissions, fostering engagement with designers and developers. The site maintains partnerships with development studios like Outkast Studio, enhancing its credibility. Revenue streams are not explicit but may include affiliate links or promotional partnerships. The target audience is specialized, focusing on creative professionals and ecommerce businesses. Growth potential lies in expanding the curated collection and enhancing community features. Strategic partnerships and consistent content updates position the platform as a go-to resource in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be a gap in security maturity. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, potentially exposing the site to regulatory risks. The use of privacy-respecting analytics is a positive indicator. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced headers, formal policies, and vulnerability management processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including business contact emails and phone numbers, to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain up-to-date software.

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.
