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

Armac Martin is a UK-based luxury brand specializing in solid brass cabinet hardware and interior accessories, with a heritage dating back to 1929. The company operates an e-commerce platform built on Shopify, targeting consumers and businesses seeking high-quality, luxury hardware products. The website demonstrates a professional design and consistent branding, reflecting its market position as a premium manufacturer and retailer. Technically, the site leverages modern e-commerce technologies including Shopify's platform, Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel, and other marketing and tracking tools, ensuring a robust digital presence. Security measures such as HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms are properly implemented, contributing to a strong security posture. However, the absence of a publicly accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages, along with the failure to retrieve WHOIS data due to domain naming rules, introduces some concerns regarding transparency and domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional, secure, and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced compliance documentation and clearer domain registration information.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 operates in the retail sector, focusing on luxury brass hardware products made in England. Its long-standing history since 1929 suggests a well-established brand with a niche market. The e-commerce model is direct-to-consumer via Shopify, supported by multiple marketing and analytics integrations to optimize customer engagement and sales. The lack of visible contact details and corporate information on the site limits direct customer support insights. The company appears to maintain a focused product offering with a premium positioning, leveraging digital marketing tools for growth. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration irregularities may indicate use of subdomains or aliases, which should be clarified for trust enhancement. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes essential security headers, indicating adherence to best practices for web security. The presence of cookie consent via OneTrust aligns with GDPR compliance efforts, though the lack of a detailed privacy policy and security incident response information is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts introduces potential privacy risks, which should be managed carefully. The domain WHOIS failure and registration issues reduce overall trust and warrant further investigation. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly available, which could impact security readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with enhanced transparency and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and accessible to improve trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance security transparency.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts to minimize privacy and security risks.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing a modern tech stack including Google Analytics 4, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Klaviyo, and OneTrust for marketing, analytics, and compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async loading of scripts to improve load times. Security headers and SSL are properly configured. The site uses multiple external domains for content delivery and tracking, all reputable. The lack of structured data beyond Open Graph limits rich search engine results potential. The WHOIS data issue suggests a possible subdomain or alias usage, which should be resolved to avoid confusion. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained, supporting a professional e-commerce experience.
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.
