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

Doors of Distinction is a UK-based specialist supplier of quality timber internal and external doors with over 30 years of industry experience. The company offers a broad range of products including oak, walnut, fire, white primed, glazed doors, and door hardware from leading manufacturers. Their market position is that of a reputable, established supplier serving homeowners, builders, and retailers across the UK. The website demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity, utilizing common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and a cookie consent management system. The site is accessible, professionally designed, and provides clear navigation and contact information. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced HTTP security headers and detailed security policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is incomplete and inconsistent, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy from a business perspective but would benefit from improved security practices and domain registration transparency.

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

5 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 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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 primarily in the retail sector, supplying doors and related products to a UK audience. Their business model focuses on both retail and wholesale, with a strong emphasis on quality and customer service. The presence of multiple well-known door manufacturer logos and customer reviews indicates a solid partnership ecosystem and positive market reputation. The company targets homeowners, builders, architects, and door retailers, offering bespoke and standard door solutions. Growth indicators include a broad product range and nationwide delivery. However, the lack of detailed corporate information such as company registration or VAT number limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. Client-side form validation is present but server-side validation status is unknown. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which may impact readiness for security incidents. The incomplete WHOIS data and domain registration error are notable concerns that affect overall trust. The security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with enhanced headers, documented policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Conduct a thorough audit of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they are up to date and free from known vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publish clear security policies, including incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
  4. Clarify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and complete to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed privacy and cookie policies, including data retention and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with jQuery and several Google services for analytics and tag management. CookieYes is used for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site includes client-side form validation and image zoom functionality via jqZoom. Performance is moderate with some legacy code patterns and inline scripts. Mobile optimization is basic, with no explicit responsive design frameworks detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. SEO is supported by meta descriptions and keywords but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and CMS are not identifiable from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and improved security hardening.
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.
