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.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  3. 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 company holds a strong market position as a niche retailer of BBQ charcoal and heating products in the UK, leveraging a family business heritage since 1981. Its business model focuses on direct online sales with delivery services, supported by digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and sales. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for contact forms, possibly to streamline customer service. The integration of multiple advertising and tracking services indicates an active marketing ecosystem. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The website content and branding are consistent and targeted towards retail customers seeking quality BBQ and heating fuel products.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF protection via form keys, and cookie consent managed by Cookiebot. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing vigilance to prevent supply chain risks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an e-commerce retail site but could benefit from additional hardening and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers for customer support to improve accessibility.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance with evolving standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento with the Hyva theme, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Klaviyo, and Cookiebot. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience with secure session management and cookie consent. However, some security headers are missing, and hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics, marketing, and content delivery, which is typical for e-commerce but requires ongoing monitoring. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
