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

Edward Sexton is a prestigious bespoke tailoring business located on Savile Row, London, with a heritage dating back to 1969. The company specializes in classic menswear and ladies tailoring, blending traditional craftsmanship with a modern English eccentricity. The website serves as an e-commerce platform hosted on Shopify, targeting affluent customers seeking luxury custom tailoring services. The site is professionally designed with excellent content quality and clear branding, reflecting the company's market position as a high-end tailor. Technically, the website leverages a mature Shopify infrastructure with integrations including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and various marketing and consent management tools. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not published. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence consistent with the luxury tailoring industry. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is due to domain registration constraints but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies and enhancing direct contact information visibility to improve trust and compliance. This assessment indicates a well-maintained, secure, and privacy-conscious website suitable for its target market, with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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

3 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. 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

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

Edward Sexton operates in the luxury retail sector, focusing on bespoke tailoring for men and women. The company benefits from a strong heritage and location on Savile Row, a globally recognized tailoring district. Its business model revolves around high-value custom garments, targeting discerning customers who value craftsmanship and exclusivity. The website supports this model by providing an e-commerce platform with integrated marketing and analytics tools to drive customer engagement and sales. The use of Shopify as a platform indicates a scalable and reliable infrastructure. The company appears to maintain a focused brand identity with consistent messaging and high-quality content. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, suggesting an independent operation. The marketing ecosystem includes major ad networks and tracking pixels, supporting targeted advertising and customer insights.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers likely implemented via Shopify's hosting environment. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance mechanisms are actively managed through Consentmo and Pandectes tools, indicating attention to privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, which should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of direct contact information, including security and support emails and phone numbers.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to minimize security risks.
  5. Consider adding advanced security headers and monitoring tools to further strengthen security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing a modern tech stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and various marketing and analytics integrations. Performance is optimized with CDN hosting and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. The use of multiple consent management tools demonstrates a mature approach to privacy compliance. Technical debt appears minimal, with opportunities for modernization including enhanced security documentation and potential streamlining of third-party scripts to reduce attack surface.
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.
