Risk levelHigh

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

Afrodite Wigs is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in human hair and synthetic wigs, targeting women seeking quality hairpieces. The company operates a professionally designed WordPress WooCommerce website with modern plugins such as Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The website is hosted by GoDaddy and secured with HTTPS, providing a solid foundation for secure online transactions. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap, potentially impacting GDPR adherence. Security posture is generally good with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected, but the lack of security headers suggests room for improvement. Overall, the business appears legitimate with consistent WHOIS data and a domain age supporting its market presence.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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"

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 occupies a niche market in the UK retail sector, focusing on wigs and hair accessories. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, leveraging a well-structured online store with categorized product offerings. The presence of social media links to Facebook and Instagram supports customer engagement and brand visibility. The domain's long registration history and lack of privacy protection enhance trustworthiness. However, the lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit direct customer communication channels. The company appears to maintain a small but focused operation with a clear target audience and product specialization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The use of reputable WordPress plugins and themes reduces the risk of common vulnerabilities. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. There is no evidence of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is critical for GDPR compliance in the UK. Enhancing these areas would improve the overall security and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and build customer trust.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process to improve security readiness.
  4. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance customer support and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize security risks and technical debt.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, a reputable provider. The site shows good mobile optimization and SEO practices but could improve accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of multiple plugins and media-rich content. There is no indication of critical technical debt, but ongoing maintenance is recommended to keep the platform secure and performant.
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.
