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

Breathing Space is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in air purifiers, fans, and dehumidifiers. The company offers a curated selection of air treatment products with free delivery and expert advice, targeting consumers and businesses concerned with indoor air quality. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Trustpilot for marketing and analytics. The technical infrastructure is robust, with fast performance, mobile optimization, and proper security headers ensuring a secure browsing experience. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. No direct contact information or security incident response details are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and customer confidence. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for its niche market, but should address privacy compliance and contact transparency to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  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

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

Breathing Space operates in the niche e-commerce sector focused on air treatment solutions, including air purifiers, fans, and dehumidifiers. Its business model centers on direct online sales with value-added services such as expert advice and free delivery. The company leverages Shopify's ecosystem for its online store, enabling scalability and integration with marketing and subscription tools. The presence of Trustpilot scripts indicates an emphasis on customer reviews and trust-building. The target market includes health-conscious consumers and commercial clients requiring air quality management. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights. The company appears to maintain a small but focused operation with potential for growth in the indoor air quality market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. Forms are protected with captcha mechanisms to prevent automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of published privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and incident response contacts represents compliance and transparency gaps. The site uses extensive tracking and marketing pixels, which necessitates clear user consent and privacy disclosures to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the security posture is strong technically but could be improved by enhancing privacy compliance and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement a clear cookie consent banner with opt-in/out capabilities to comply with GDPR.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including support emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing Shopify Liquid templates and hosted on Shopify's CDN infrastructure, ensuring high availability and performance. It employs modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts to optimize page load times. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics, and integrates Trustpilot for customer reviews. The CSS and fonts are optimized with preloading and font-display swap for better user experience. Security headers and HTTPS are properly configured, contributing to a secure environment. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. However, the lack of visible privacy and cookie management scripts suggests an area for technical improvement to meet regulatory standards.
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.
