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

    • 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. 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 primarily in the e-commerce sector, focusing on niche plant-based nutrition products. Its business model includes direct online sales, subscription options, and a loyalty rewards program to drive customer retention. Market positioning is strong within the plant-based snack segment, supported by certifications and active social media engagement. The use of Shopify as a platform provides scalability and integration with multiple marketing and analytics tools. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS is consistent with a transparent business approach. Partnerships with payment and marketing service providers enhance operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, indicating good domain security management. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are missing, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and preparedness. Privacy compliance is adequate with visible policies and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is hosted on Shopify and uses a modern Dawn theme with JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js for UI components and Yotpo for reviews and loyalty programs. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Klickly, and Retention.com. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and CDN usage. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility could be improved. The site uses canonical tags, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags for SEO and social sharing. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and has a long history consistent with the business age. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce experience with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
