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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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

Tapcart operates in the ecommerce technology sector, focusing on mobile app solutions for Shopify merchants. Their business model is SaaS-based, offering a drag-and-drop app builder, push notifications, analytics, and developer tools. They target ecommerce marketers, technical teams, and Shopify brands seeking to enhance mobile customer engagement. The company leverages partnerships with Shopify and other ecommerce service providers like Klaviyo and Recharge Payments to expand its ecosystem. Growth indicators include multiple case studies with high-profile clients and a comprehensive educational academy. The platform's integrations and marketing tools suggest a strategy focused on customer retention and app optimization. Tapcart's market position is strong within the niche of Shopify mobile app builders, with a medium-sized company profile and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of bot protection mechanisms such as Cloudflare Turnstile captcha. The presence of multiple third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces some risk, but no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. GDPR compliance is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by publishing detailed security policies and enhancing header configurations. No critical vulnerabilities or compliance gaps were identified from the available data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Improve transparency by providing explicit data retention policies and security certifications if applicable.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure consistency and trustworthiness.

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.
