Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

BTS (Europe) Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in the supply of soft furnishings and bedroom and bathroom accessories primarily for the hospitality and healthcare sectors. With over 25 years of experience, the company positions itself as a leading provider in its niche market. The website reflects a small business model focused on B2B sales through an e-commerce platform powered by WordPress and WooCommerce. The digital presence is functional but basic, with limited content and minimal direct contact information beyond a contact form. Technically, the site uses modern CMS and SEO tools but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance. The domain is well-established, created in 2002, consistent with the company's claimed history.

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 targets hospitality and healthcare businesses in the UK, offering specialized soft furnishings and accessories. Its market position as a leading provider is supported by its longevity and focused product offerings. The business model relies on online sales and credit account customers, indicating a B2B approach. The website's partnership with ThemeGrill for its theme and use of Google Tag Manager for analytics suggests moderate digital marketing efforts. However, the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers may limit customer engagement. No certifications or trust badges are displayed, which could be an area for improvement to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its security posture. No published security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and transparency in security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Add a clear and comprehensive privacy policy with GDPR compliance details and a cookie consent banner.
  4. Publish security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by adding verified company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Elementor for SEO and page building. The hosting and DNS are managed via Squarespace Domains and Google Domains respectively. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics but lacks advanced privacy controls. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and enhanced user experience features.
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.
