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

TrueKind is a small retail e-commerce business specializing in clean, conscious, and performance skincare products that emphasize radical transparency and sustainability. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting consumers interested in vegan and cruelty-free skincare solutions. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, hosted by HOSTINGER with Cloudflare DNS, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. The WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a future domain creation date and registrant as a hosting provider rather than the business entity, which warrants further verification. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy but should improve privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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.

    • 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

  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

TrueKind positions itself as a niche clean beauty brand with a focus on transparency and sustainability, offering skincare products through an e-commerce model. The business targets environmentally conscious consumers seeking verified ingredient transparency and ethical certifications such as Peta Vegan and Cruelty Free. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Tag Manager but lacks formal privacy and cookie policies, which may impact trust and compliance. The domain registration details suggest the business is relatively new or the data is inaccurate, which could affect perceived credibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the domain and website data. The brand maintains consistent messaging and quality content, supporting growth potential in the clean beauty market segment.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Forms on the site collect user data (e.g., login, cart) but lack visible security indicators or privacy notices. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The WHOIS data inconsistencies reduce trust in domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, and privacy compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration data to ensure consistency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack using Nuxt.js and Vue.js, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. Hosting is provided by HOSTINGER with Cloudflare DNS, which offers performance and security benefits. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good user experience. However, the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features, and performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can be improved with enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
