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

Tandēms is a small Latvian e-commerce business specializing in the sale of cakes and macarons, including options for vegan, gluten-free, and egg-free dietary needs. The company targets consumers primarily in Riga and Koknese, offering both online ordering and local pickup, with a physical presence in Koknese. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and providing a user-friendly, mobile-optimized shopping experience. Social media integration with Facebook and Instagram supports customer engagement and brand visibility. Technically, the website uses Shopify's Dawn theme and includes JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and hCaptcha for form security. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN with HTTPS enforced, ensuring secure communications. Performance and SEO optimizations are well implemented, contributing to a fast and accessible user experience. However, the site lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism, which may pose compliance risks under EU privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site benefits from Shopify's built-in protections and uses hCaptcha to mitigate automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to query limits, but the overall professionalism and consistency of the site indicate a legitimate business. Overall, Tandēms presents a trustworthy and well-maintained online presence for a local bakery e-commerce business. Strategic recommendations include implementing a cookie consent banner, publishing security and incident response policies, and enhancing direct contact information to improve 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

6 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

    • 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

  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

  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 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

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

Tandēms operates in the niche market of specialty cakes and macarons in Latvia, focusing on quality ingredients and accommodating dietary restrictions. Its business model centers on direct-to-consumer online sales with local pickup options, supported by a physical store in Koknese. The company leverages Shopify's e-commerce infrastructure, enabling efficient order management and payment processing. Social media channels are actively used for marketing and customer engagement. The business appears small but professionally managed, with potential for growth in the local market. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small e-commerce business. HTTPS is enforced, and Shopify's platform provides baseline security controls including security headers and content delivery protections. The use of hCaptcha on forms helps prevent automated abuse. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were observed. However, the lack of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and may hinder customer confidence in security practices. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with EU privacy regulations.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they remain secure and up to date.
  5. Enhance customer contact options by providing direct company phone numbers and emails.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, a modern and responsive framework optimized for e-commerce. It uses JavaScript and jQuery for interactive features and integrates hCaptcha for form security. Hosting is provided by Shopify's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and high availability. The site includes SEO-friendly metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for improved search engine visibility. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, contributing to a good user experience. Performance is fast, and mobile optimization is excellent. Technical debt appears minimal, with opportunities to improve privacy compliance and security transparency.
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.
