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

Commerce Windows is a small UK-based business specializing in double glazing, windows, doors, and home improvement products primarily serving Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. The website presents a professional image with clear branding, contact information, and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with common libraries such as jQuery and Font Awesome, and it integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy, though the website content and contact details support business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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 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 positions itself as a market leader in the local double glazing and home improvement sector, targeting homeowners in Northamptonshire. Its business model focuses on direct sales and installation services, with a broad product range including windows, doors, conservatories, and extensions. The website supports lead generation through online quotes and contact forms. The presence of multiple contact phone numbers for sales and customer service indicates a customer-centric approach. The use of Google Analytics and cookie consent shows awareness of marketing and compliance requirements, though privacy policy documentation is missing. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance, but no privacy policy or incident response information is published. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which is a concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS registration issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern image formats (webp). Performance is moderate, with no critical errors detected in the HTML structure. The cookie consent plugin is well integrated, allowing granular user preferences. However, the absence of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data indicate areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details were not identified. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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.
