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

StringArt.lv is a niche e-commerce business specializing in custom string artwork created from customer photos. The company offers personalized art products such as RingString, Qbrix, and Mozabrick, targeting customers looking for unique gifts and decorative items. The website operates on the Shopify platform, leveraging its secure and scalable infrastructure to provide worldwide delivery services. The business appears small but focused, with a consistent brand presence and integration of customer reviews and social media channels to build trust. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Shopify Liquid, JavaScript ES modules, and various Shopify apps for enhanced functionality such as delivery estimates, product reviews, and marketing automation. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics in place. Security is handled primarily by Shopify's platform, with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers and privacy policies are lacking, which could be improved. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks visible privacy and terms of service pages, and no contact information or incident response channels are clearly provided. The absence of WHOIS data due to query limits limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy. Nevertheless, the site shows no signs of malicious activity or adult content, maintaining a safe environment for general audiences. Overall, StringArt.lv presents a professional e-commerce presence with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen customer trust and regulatory compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

StringArt.lv occupies a niche market in personalized art products, leveraging custom string art techniques to differentiate itself. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, relying on online sales and worldwide shipping. The company uses Shopify's ecosystem extensively, indicating a lean operational model with third-party integrations for marketing and customer engagement. Social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube supports brand awareness and customer interaction. The lack of detailed company registration or contact info suggests a small or sole proprietorship business structure. Growth potential exists through expanding product lines and enhancing digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's secure hosting environment, including HTTPS encryption and platform-managed security features. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy policy or GDPR-specific disclosures. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding explicit security headers, privacy documentation, and clear contact channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and customer trust.
  2. Add explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including company email and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and Shopify apps to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using a modern Liquid theme with ES module JavaScript, Photoswipe for image galleries, and jQuery 1.12.0 for legacy support. It integrates multiple Shopify apps for delivery estimation, product reviews (Judge.me), and marketing pixels (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel). The site loads resources from Shopify CDN and other trusted domains, ensuring good availability and performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and JSON-LD structured data for organization and breadcrumb navigation. Performance is moderate, with some deferred script loading and preconnect hints. Hosting is via Shopify's global CDN infrastructure.
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.
