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

Sugaring.lv is an e-commerce retail store hosted on the Shopify platform, currently in a password-protected state indicating a pre-launch phase. The business appears to target customers interested in beauty or sugaring products, with a focus on the Latvian and Russian-speaking markets. The website uses the Shopify Sense theme and integrates standard Shopify analytics and security features such as hCaptcha for form protection. However, the site lacks publicly accessible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, and no direct contact information is available on the password page. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, limiting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site demonstrates a moderate technical maturity with good SSL configuration but requires improvements in privacy compliance and transparency.

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

7 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook

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

  2. 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

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 e-commerce sector with a retail focus, leveraging Shopify's platform for ease of management and scalability. The pre-launch status suggests early-stage operations with a small business size. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram indicates efforts to build brand awareness and community engagement. The lack of visible business registration or contact details limits trust signals. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail, with newsletter subscription as a lead capture mechanism. Market positioning is currently undefined publicly due to restricted access.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to protect forms from automated abuse, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the accessible content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, security is adequate for a pre-launch e-commerce site but requires enhancements before full public launch.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and incident response channels on the website.
  4. Obtain and publish WHOIS data or use privacy protection services transparently to improve trust.
  5. Enhance website content with business information and terms of service to improve credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Sense theme version 15.2.0, leveraging Shopify's CDN and standard JavaScript libraries for analytics and storefront functionality. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts (Poppins). Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and prefetching of resources. Accessibility features are basic with skip links and ARIA attributes present. SEO metadata is minimal with basic Open Graph tags but no JSON-LD structured data detected. The password protection page limits content exposure, which is typical for pre-launch stores. Technical debt appears low, but the site would benefit from enhanced SEO and privacy compliance features.
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.
