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

PC Renewed is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in high-quality refurbished laptops and desktops. The company targets environmentally conscious consumers and businesses looking to save money while obtaining reliable technology products. Their market position is that of a trusted specialist in refurbished computing hardware, offering services such as custom PC and laptop building, refurbishment, and data wiping. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand image with clear trust indicators including a one-year warranty, free UK delivery, and integration of Trustpilot reviews. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and leverages modern frameworks like Bootstrap 5. It integrates several third-party services including Google Analytics, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and Olark for live chat support. The site is mobile optimized and shows good SEO practices, although accessibility compliance is basic. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security maturity. Overall, PC Renewed presents a low-risk profile with a solid business model and good digital maturity. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining vigilance on third-party script security to further strengthen their security posture.

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.

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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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

PC Renewed operates in the retail sector focusing on refurbished computing equipment, a niche with growing demand due to sustainability trends and cost savings. Their competitive advantage lies in certified Grade A refurbishment, warranty offerings, and a UK-centric delivery model. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with additional services such as custom builds and refurbishment. Revenue streams likely include product sales and service fees. The target customers are UK-based individuals and businesses seeking affordable, reliable refurbished technology. The presence of Trustpilot and payment partners like PayPal enhances credibility. Growth indicators include a well-structured website with multiple product categories and service offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processors and review platforms, supporting a trustworthy online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive cookie consent management via Cookiebot, and implementation of security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and live chat is balanced with privacy compliance. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates gaps in security transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and incident response plan to improve stakeholder trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and integrates multiple plugins for enhanced user experience, including Gravity Forms for forms, Olark for live chat, and YITH Wishlist. Analytics and marketing are managed via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. Cookie consent is handled by Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted third parties. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed and accessibility. The technical stack is well-chosen for an SME e-commerce site, but ongoing maintenance and security patching are essential to mitigate risks.
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.
