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

Beaut Boutique is a small UK-based boutique fashion e-commerce retailer specializing in curated collections such as Luxe, Tweed, and Kids. Founded in 2017, the company targets fashion-conscious consumers seeking boutique dresses and apparel with a promise of next day delivery within the UK. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and third-party integrations for payments, reviews, and marketing. The technical infrastructure is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable services like Klarna and Loox Reviews. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and trust. Contact information is limited to a generic email address, and no phone or physical address is provided, which may affect customer confidence.

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

9 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 and e-commerce sector with a niche focus on boutique fashion. Its market position is that of a specialized boutique retailer with a curated product offering. The business model is direct-to-consumer online sales, supported by next day delivery services. The company leverages partnerships with Shopify, Klarna, and Loox for platform, payment, and customer review functionalities respectively. Growth indicators include multiple collections and active social media presence on Facebook. However, the lack of comprehensive compliance documentation and limited contact details may hinder trust and expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of secure payment gateways. Security best practices such as form protection with hCaptcha and absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. Nonetheless, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information represent gaps. The site does not provide a security policy or contact channels for reporting security incidents, which is a compliance and operational risk. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small e-commerce site but could be improved to enhance customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements.
  2. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear and professional contact details including phone number and physical address to improve trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, utilizing a modern tech stack including JavaScript, jQuery, and Mustache.js. It integrates third-party services such as Loox for reviews and Klarna for payments. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate with use of CDN for assets. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced SEO optimizations detected. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve load times. Technical debt appears low but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security headers.
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.
