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

CAPS! Chocolate is a Latvian-based luxury chocolate gift e-commerce business established in 2011. The company specializes in high-end, personalized chocolate products targeting customers seeking elegant and exclusive gift options. Their market position is niche within the luxury retail segment, focusing on both individual and corporate clients. The website is built on the Shopify platform using the Dawn theme, indicating a modern and scalable technical infrastructure. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices and basic accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. The business demonstrates trustworthiness through customer reviews and consistent branding, but contact information could be enhanced by using a company domain email and providing more direct contact details. Overall, the site presents a professional and secure online presence suitable for its market niche.

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.

    • 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. 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.

  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
    • 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 operates in the retail and e-commerce sectors, focusing on luxury chocolate gifts with personalized packaging services. Their business model is direct-to-consumer via an online Shopify store, supplemented by custom order forms for corporate clients. The presence of customer reviews and multilingual support suggests a customer-centric approach and potential for regional expansion. The lack of a terms of service page and limited contact details may impact customer trust and legal compliance. Marketing tools such as Google Ads and Judge.me reviews are leveraged for customer acquisition and retention. The company appears small but established, with a clear brand identity and consistent messaging. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable hosting via Shopify, which provides baseline security. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are implemented, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a moderate security gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The use of third-party scripts and integrations necessitates ongoing security monitoring to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be strengthened to reduce attack surface and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the tastecaps.com domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear terms of service page and a security policy to improve legal compliance and customer trust.
  4. Use a company domain email address for contact to enhance professionalism and trustworthiness.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates multiple third-party services such as Judge.me for reviews, Globo Form Builder for custom forms, and Translation Lab for multilingual support. Google Tag Manager and Google Ads are used for analytics and marketing. The site is hosted on Shopify's CDN, ensuring reliable uptime and moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site uses cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security enhancements and accessibility improvements are recommended to future-proof the platform.
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.
