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

Tula Mics operates a professionally designed e-commerce website specializing in high-quality USB microphones and standalone mobile recorders. Founded in 2019, the company targets podcasters, YouTubers, musicians, and remote workers seeking portable, studio-quality sound solutions. The website leverages Shopify's platform with a modern theme and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user experience and business insights. The brand maintains a consistent and trustworthy online presence with active social media channels and positive press mentions. Technically, the site is well-implemented with HTTPS, domain locking, and Cloudflare DNS, though it lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent banner but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid digital maturity suitable for a small e-commerce business but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  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

Tula Mics occupies a niche market in premium audio recording devices, leveraging its heritage linked to Soyuz Microphones. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, focusing on quality and portability. Revenue streams likely include product sales of microphones, bundles, and accessories. The target audience includes content creators and professionals requiring mobile recording solutions. The company shows growth potential through multimedia marketing and internationalization via Weglot. Partnerships with payment processors and marketing platforms are evident, though no formal partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed. The brand's competitive advantage lies in its embedded Swedish noise reduction technology and stylish design.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain status locks preventing unauthorized changes, and use of Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR-specific disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business size but should be improved to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Impact theme version 4.0.2, leveraging modern JavaScript modules and multiple third-party integrations including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Bing Ads. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with preloading and caching strategies evident. However, the lack of DNSSEC and minimal security policy disclosures represent technical debt. The site effectively uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust for a small e-commerce business but has room for security and privacy 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.
