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

6 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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

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 positions itself as a local high-end tile specialist retailer with a showroom and supply services. Its market focus is geographically limited to Brentwood and Essex, targeting homeowners, contractors, and interior designers. The business model is retail sales supported by an online presence for marketing and customer engagement. The website content and metadata emphasize quality and local service, with no evidence of broader e-commerce or international operations. The company appears stable with a domain age consistent with its founding year. There are no visible partnerships or subsidiaries linked from the site. The business leverages digital tools for customer contact and GDPR compliance but lacks advanced marketing or analytics integrations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated into the contact form to mitigate spam and abuse. The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin provides a consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor vulnerability disclosure information. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries based on the provided scripts. Regular updates and security best practices are recommended to maintain and improve security.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Add incident response contact information or security@ abuse@ email addresses for reporting security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to broaden user inclusivity and comply with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0 with a combination of popular plugins including Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7, Owl Carousel, and GDPR Cookie Compliance. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is hosted under a domain registered with Tucows Inc, a reputable registrar. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and breadcrumb. The site lacks advanced analytics or marketing tools but maintains basic GDPR compliance. Technical debt appears low, though security headers and explicit privacy documentation are missing. Overall, the infrastructure supports a stable and professional online presence for a small retail business.
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.
