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. 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. 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention thedola.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for thedola.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 targets consumers interested in modern African lifestyle and culture, leveraging e-commerce and creative agency models. The company appears to be recently founded (2021) with consistent domain registration data. The product catalog includes apparel, accessories, books, and music, indicating diversified revenue streams. The presence of social media and structured data suggests a focus on digital marketing and brand building. The company operates primarily in France but serves a global audience with worldwide shipping. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses security headers to protect domain transfer and deletion. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicate GDPR compliance. The use of hCaptcha on forms adds protection against automated abuse. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is found, which could improve transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The domain is registered without privacy protection, matching the business location, which supports legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with DNSSEC and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for security and privacy compliance.

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, leveraging its CMS and e-commerce capabilities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and SEO tools such as SEOAnt AI SEO. Performance optimizations include lazy loading images and prefetching scripts. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable provider. The domain is relatively new but consistent with the business age. No technical debt or major risks were identified. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and accessibility compliance.
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.
