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

Un:Te Candles is a small Latvian e-commerce business specializing in handmade candles and related gift products. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting consumers interested in artisanal and decorative candles. The company operates primarily through its online store, leveraging WooCommerce on a WordPress platform with Elementor for design. Social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, and Etsy support its market presence. The domain registration is consistent with the business identity and founded in 2021, matching the website's content and company information. Technically, the website uses a modern WordPress stack with WooCommerce and Elementor plugins, ensuring a good user experience and mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks, but lacks DNSSEC and advanced HTTP security headers. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism implemented via Complianz. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally managed, with no signs of malicious activity or content safety concerns. The business demonstrates good digital maturity for its size and sector, though security enhancements like DNSSEC and additional headers are recommended to strengthen protection. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing additional security headers, and regular security audits to maintain compliance and protect customer data.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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

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

Un:Te Candles occupies a niche artisanal candle market with a focus on handmade and decorative products including gold-embellished candles and gift sets. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supported by social media marketing and an Etsy shop. The company targets consumers seeking unique, handcrafted candle products primarily in Latvia and potentially broader European markets. The presence of clear business registration and VAT numbers supports credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding product lines and leveraging digital marketing. The partnership with Etsy indicates a multi-channel sales approach. The company maintains a small but professional operation with consistent branding and customer engagement through testimonials and clear policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and domain registration includes protective status locks to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to secure DNS queries. No advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could mitigate certain web attacks. The site uses standard WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting room for improvement in formal security governance and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and keep WordPress plugins and themes up to date.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building. It uses jQuery and standard WordPress scripts. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and social media platforms. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses a cookie consent plugin (Complianz) for GDPR compliance. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy as registrar, though exact hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site lacks DNSSEC and some advanced security headers, which are technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for a small e-commerce business but could benefit from security hardening and performance optimization.
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.
