The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party integrations for payments and analytics.

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.

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

WIMS shoes operates in the premium retail footwear sector with a focus on handcrafted products. Their business model combines direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales with wholesale offerings. The company leverages social media channels like Facebook and Instagram for brand presence and customer engagement. Payment processing is handled via a partner service (Dalidali), indicating a partnership ecosystem supporting their operations. The website's content and structure suggest a well-positioned niche player with a focus on quality and craftsmanship rather than mass-market volume. Growth indicators include active product collections and seasonal campaigns. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT information on the site suggests a small to medium enterprise scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and CAPTCHA integration to mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The use of multiple third-party tracking pixels introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with enhanced privacy controls. Overall, the security maturity is good for an e-commerce retailer but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize security risks and privacy impact.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers for customer support.

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Prestige theme version 3.3.4, incorporating JavaScript libraries such as Flickity for carousels and hCaptcha for form protection. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Shopify, ensuring fast load times and global availability. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with responsive design for mobile optimization.

No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and formalize security documentation.
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.
