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

5 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

    • 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

  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 company occupies a niche market combining retail and nonprofit support, which differentiates it from typical e-commerce stores. Its business model relies on online sales with a charitable component, appealing to socially conscious consumers. The partnership with 826NYC enhances brand trust and community engagement. The website's use of Shopify ensures reliable infrastructure and scalability. Marketing efforts include Google and Facebook advertising, Mailchimp newsletters, and donation pop-ups to encourage contributions. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital communication primarily through forms.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure Shopify infrastructure, which provides a solid baseline security posture. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The site lacks published security policies or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Provide direct company contact information such as verified support emails or phone numbers to enhance credibility.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing modern JavaScript, jQuery, and various marketing and analytics integrations including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Hosting on Shopify ensures reliable uptime and scalability. The technical implementation is robust with no major issues detected, though adding explicit security headers and improving accessibility features could further enhance the site.
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.
