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

Custom Creations Furniture Ltd is a small, family-run bespoke fitted furniture business based in Verwood, Dorset, with over 40 years of experience. They specialize in designing, hand-building, and installing custom wardrobes, kitchens, home offices, and storage solutions primarily serving the Dorset area. The company enjoys a strong local reputation, supported by accreditations such as Which? Trusted Trader and over 500 verified Checkatrade reviews with perfect ratings. Their website reflects a professional and trustworthy image with comprehensive service descriptions and customer testimonials. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript modules and Google Fonts, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Privacy compliance is addressed through Google Consent Mode and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages were not detected. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing security policies. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good user experience. The lack of WHOIS transparency is mitigated by the presence of multiple trust indicators and professional presentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and improving privacy policy visibility to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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. 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"

    • 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 operates in the retail sector, focusing on bespoke furniture manufacturing and installation. Their business model is direct-to-consumer with a strong emphasis on local service in Dorset. Competitive advantages include a long-standing family heritage, high-quality craftsmanship, and strong customer satisfaction evidenced by numerous positive reviews and accreditations. Revenue streams likely derive from custom furniture projects ranging from fitted wardrobes to home offices. The target customer segment is homeowners in Dorset seeking personalized furniture solutions. Growth indicators include a large portfolio of completed projects and active customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliations with Which? Trusted Trader and Checkatrade, enhancing market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and implementation of Google Consent Mode to manage user consent for cookies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated through cookie consent but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small business but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and hardening HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie consent mechanisms and data retention policies to maintain compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies including JavaScript ES modules and Google Fonts, indicating a contemporary tech stack. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data enhancing search engine visibility. Performance appears moderate, with lazy loading of images and efficient resource loading strategies. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Technical risks are minimal but could include potential improvements in security headers and formal documentation to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
