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

Ashley Wilde Group operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in refined furnishing fabrics and home decor products. The company has a strong market presence with multiple well-known brands and a history dating back to 1950. The website is built on the Magento platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and integrations such as Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA to enhance user experience and security. The domain registration is consistent with the business history, indicating legitimacy and stability. However, the website lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security headers are implemented well, but DNSSEC is not enabled, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could enhance privacy compliance and security transparency.

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. 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

  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

  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

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 Ashley Wilde Group targets interior designers, decorators, retailers, and consumers interested in home furnishing fabrics and decor. Their business model combines e-commerce and wholesale distribution, offering a wide range of fabric brands and home accessories. The company leverages partnerships with multiple brands and maintains a consistent brand image. The website's technical infrastructure supports a moderate performance level with good mobile optimization. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation based in the United Kingdom with a long-standing market presence. There is an opportunity to strengthen customer trust by publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and improving accessibility features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a security.txt file limits the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance gap. Incident response contact channels are not publicly disclosed, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting. Enhancing these areas would improve the security and compliance posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Review and strengthen Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento, a robust e-commerce platform, and uses RequireJS, jQuery, KnockoutJS, and other modern JavaScript libraries. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, and MailChimp is integrated for marketing. The site is hosted with Cloudflare as registrar and DNS provider, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site uses multiple Magento extensions for enhanced functionality. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries in the provided content. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
