Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website at debenhams.com is currently inaccessible due to a 403 error generated by Amazon CloudFront, indicating that the request was blocked possibly due to traffic volume or configuration issues. As a result, no meaningful content, metadata, or business information could be retrieved or analyzed. The lack of accessible content prevents assessment of the company's market position, services, or compliance posture. Technically, the site is hosted behind CloudFront but is currently non-functional from an external visitor perspective. From a security standpoint, the site does not expose any headers or SSL configuration details due to the block, and no privacy or cookie policies are detectable. This lack of accessibility severely limits the ability to evaluate security maturity or compliance with regulations such as GDPR. The overall risk is elevated due to the inability to verify the website's legitimacy or security controls. Strategically, restoring proper website accessibility and resolving the CloudFront 403 error is critical. Once accessible, a full audit of security headers, privacy policies, and business information should be conducted to ensure compliance and trustworthiness. Until then, the site should be considered high risk for users and partners due to lack of transparency and availability.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

No business intelligence data could be extracted due to the website being blocked. There is no visible information about the company's market positioning, business model, or partnerships. The domain appears to be associated with a known retail brand historically, but no current data is available to confirm active operations or digital presence.

Security posture

The security posture cannot be fully assessed due to the website being blocked by CloudFront with a 403 error. No security headers or SSL details are visible, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The presence of a WAF blocking access suggests some level of security control, but the configuration currently prevents legitimate access, which is a critical operational issue.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve the CloudFront 403 error to restore website accessibility for users and analysis.
  2. Implement and verify HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  3. Add and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Establish clear contact information and incident response channels to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Amazon CloudFront but currently returns a 403 error blocking access. No HTML content beyond the error message is available, preventing analysis of technology stack, CMS, or performance. The lack of accessible content indicates a critical configuration or security issue that must be addressed to enable further technical evaluation.
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.
