Twelve South Australia · E-commerce · Australia

Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

72/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Twelve South Australia operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in luxury tech accessories designed primarily for Apple devices. The company positions itself as a niche retailer offering stylish and functional products such as desktop stands and charging solutions. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and multiple marketing and analytics tools to engage customers and optimize sales. While the site demonstrates good design, mobile optimization, and user experience, it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. The domain registration data is consistent and legitimate, with no privacy protection or suspicious indicators. Overall, the website is secure with HTTPS enabled but could improve security posture by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers.

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 business targets consumers within Australia interested in premium tech accessories, particularly those in the Apple ecosystem. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, utilizing Shopify's infrastructure for sales and marketing. The company maintains active social media channels to enhance brand presence and customer engagement. Affiliate marketing via ShareASale indicates a strategy to expand reach through partnerships. The lack of explicit contact information and policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and customer trust. The company appears small but focused, with a consistent brand and quality content supporting its market position.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's secure hosting and HTTPS encryption, ensuring data in transit is protected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which may increase the attack surface if not properly managed. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in security maturity. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with better policy disclosures and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Establish and disclose an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as Flickity for carousels and various marketing SDKs including Klaviyo and Okendo Reviews. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage for assets. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with ARIA roles and skip links present. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is managed by Shopify with domain registration via GoDaddy. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from additional security headers and DNSSEC to reduce risk.
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.
