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

Baker Ross is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in arts and crafts supplies, seasonal and themed craft kits primarily targeting children, schools, and educators. The company maintains a strong market position in the retail and educational craft supply sector with a broad product range and next day delivery service within the UK. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with integrations of advanced search, marketing, and analytics tools, supporting a data-driven approach to customer engagement and sales. Technically, the website is built on the Magento platform, leveraging RequireJS and multiple third-party services such as Klevu Search, Klaviyo, and Microsoft Clarity for enhanced user experience and marketing analytics. The site is mobile optimized and shows good SEO practices, although some security headers could be improved for enhanced protection. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security policy and incident response information publicly. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie management. Overall, Baker Ross presents a trustworthy and professional online retail platform with a strong focus on customer experience and compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers and public security documentation would further enhance their security maturity and customer trust.

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

3 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

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Baker Ross operates in the retail and education sectors, focusing on arts and crafts supplies for children and schools. Their business model is e-commerce driven, with a strong emphasis on seasonal and themed products. The company targets parents, educators, and craft enthusiasts, leveraging localized domains to serve multiple international markets. Their competitive advantage lies in a wide product range, next day delivery in the UK, and a well-established brand presence. The integration of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a sophisticated approach to customer acquisition and retention. Partnerships with payment providers like Amazon Pay and Klarna enhance customer convenience. The company appears to be large in size with a consistent brand image and good content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No public security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services is balanced with privacy compliance efforts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with recommendations to enhance header configurations and publish security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them timely.
  4. Ensure all forms have CSRF protection and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS with RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading. It integrates multiple third-party services including Klevu for search, Klaviyo for marketing automation, Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics, and Lead Forensics for visitor identification. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics management and OneTrust for cookie consent compliance. Performance is moderate with prefetching and asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with meta tags and structured data. There is no explicit hosting provider information detected. Technical risks include potential dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require continuous monitoring for security and performance impacts.
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.
