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

Carian Interiors Limited is a small, family-run upholstery business based in Stratford upon Avon, UK, with over 20 years of experience. The company offers upholstery and reupholstery services, including custom fabric sourcing and professional recovery for chiropractic and sports massage benches. Recently, they expanded to include an online store for upholstery items and DIY supplies, targeting both local customers and professionals. The website is built on the IONOS Website Builder platform with integrated Ecwid e-commerce functionality, demonstrating moderate digital maturity with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and employs a service worker for enhanced performance. A cookie consent banner is present, indicating some level of privacy compliance. However, the absence of detailed privacy, security policies, and security headers suggests room for improvement in security posture. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to naming rules, indicating the domain queried is likely a subdomain or alias rather than a registered domain, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image for a small local business with a growing online presence. The technical infrastructure is adequate but could benefit from enhanced security measures and clearer privacy compliance documentation. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen the company's digital trust and compliance standing.

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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Carian Interiors Limited operates in the retail sector, specializing in upholstery services with a niche in professional recovery services for chiropractic and sports massage benches. Their business model combines traditional service delivery with an emerging e-commerce channel, allowing them to reach a broader audience. The company leverages social media platforms such as Pinterest, Facebook, and Instagram to engage customers and showcase their work. The local market positioning is strong, focusing on personalized service and quality craftsmanship. Growth indicators include the launch of an online store and the intention to regularly update stock. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes the IONOS platform and Ecwid for hosting and e-commerce. Strategic observations suggest the company could enhance market reach by improving online marketing and security compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. The use of a service worker indicates some modern web practices. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, and no forms are present to collect user data, reducing attack surface. Compliance with GDPR is only partially indicated through cookie consent, with no detailed privacy or security policies found. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and security policy pages detailing data handling and compliance.
  2. Add HTTP security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Enhance GDPR compliance by providing clear user data rights and cookie management options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the IONOS Website Builder platform with integration of Ecwid for e-commerce capabilities. The technology stack includes jQuery 2.2.4, Skrollr.js for parallax effects, PhotoSwipe for image galleries, and service workers for offline capabilities. Google Fonts are used for typography. The hosting provider is IONOS, which offers reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical debt appears low given the use of a managed platform, but the use of an older jQuery version suggests some modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could benefit from updates and enhanced security configurations.
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.
