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

DKD LINKS is a small retail e-commerce business specializing in premium Bose audio products, including headphones, speakers, soundbars, and home cinema systems. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting consumers in Ghana interested in high-quality audio equipment. The business operates primarily through an online WooCommerce platform with product listings, shopping cart, and customer account features. The company was founded around 2018, consistent with the domain registration date. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, leveraging modern plugins such as Slider Revolution for enhanced user experience. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and includes basic SEO and accessibility features. Hosting and domain registration are managed through reputable providers, with no privacy protection on WHOIS, indicating transparency. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and has domain status clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, it lacks DNSSEC, some important security headers like Content-Security-Policy, and a cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy for its intended retail purpose. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance (cookie consent), and DNS security would enhance its security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

DKD LINKS occupies a niche market as a premium Bose product dealer in Ghana, focusing on retailing high-end audio equipment. Its business model is e-commerce retail, targeting audiophiles and consumers seeking original Bose products. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Mailchimp for customer engagement but lacks advanced analytics or affiliate marketing programs. The presence of clear contact information and physical address supports credibility. The website content and product offerings suggest a focus on quality and brand trust, positioning DKD LINKS as a specialized retailer rather than a mass-market seller. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital marketing and expanded product lines.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options indicates gaps in defense-in-depth. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy compliance features suggests potential regulatory compliance risks, especially under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries, which is positive. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building. It uses popular plugins like Slider Revolution and Mailchimp integration. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets, including jQuery and WooCommerce scripts, indicating a standard WordPress e-commerce setup. Hosting appears stable with DNS managed by stormerhost.com and domain registered via PublicDomainRegistry.com. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported with meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and incomplete security headers.
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.
