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

Straumbergs Hats is a small Latvian e-commerce business specializing in handcrafted hats, including fedoras, wide brim hats, and Panamas. The company emphasizes Northern European craftsmanship and artisan quality, targeting consumers interested in unique, custom headwear. The website is professionally designed and hosted on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and analytics tools. It features GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, a contact form for customer inquiries, and active social media channels. However, no direct company contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the active and professional online presence suggests a legitimate business. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and form protection via hCaptcha, but explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent. Overall, the website is well-implemented technically and provides a trustworthy shopping experience, but domain registration transparency should be improved.

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

4 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 business operates in the niche artisan hat market with a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via Shopify. Its competitive advantage lies in handcrafted, mountain-inspired hats made in Latvia, appealing to customers valuing craftsmanship and uniqueness. The company maintains a consistent brand image and engages customers through social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and TikTok. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of custom hats. The lack of visible company registration or VAT information suggests a small or sole proprietorship business structure. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify as the platform provider and various marketing and analytics tools. Growth indicators include active content marketing via blogs and social media. Strategic observations recommend enhancing domain registration transparency and publishing security and incident response policies to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and form submissions are protected with hCaptcha to mitigate spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The business should consider formalizing security policies, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing additional security headers to enhance protection and compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but can be improved to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and publicly available.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing Shopify Liquid templates and hosted on Shopify's CDN infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and high availability. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Shopify Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. The site uses modern web technologies including deferred media loading, responsive design, and accessibility features. Cookie consent is managed via a third-party Nova EU Cookie Bar app, and form protection is implemented with hCaptcha. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies to reduce technical risks.
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.
