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

2 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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 e-commerce sector, focusing on handcrafted leather smartphone accessories. Its competitive advantage lies in product quality, customization options, and a strong warranty offering. The business model is direct-to-consumer retail via Shopify, supported by customer reviews and loyalty tools. Target customers are premium buyers valuing craftsmanship and durability. The company shows stable market positioning with a small size and New Zealand base. Partnerships include Shopify and third-party marketing and analytics providers. Growth potential exists through expanding product lines and enhancing digital marketing. The absence of explicit security policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to prevent unauthorized transfers, indicating good baseline security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces resilience against DNS attacks and clickjacking. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Forms use CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response contacts are not publicly listed, which could delay handling of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in DNS security, HTTP headers, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance browser security.
  3. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page including contact information for security incidents.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Shopify's Dawn theme with a modern JavaScript stack including Yotpo for reviews and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics. Hosting is via Shopify CDN ensuring good availability and moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloaded fonts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The site uses multiple third-party scripts which should be monitored for performance and security impact. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
