Elaines Flowers is a well-established local florist business based in Peel, Isle of Man, with over 29 years of experience. The company specializes in fresh flower arrangements and offers same-day delivery services island-wide. Their business model focuses on direct sourcing from growers and auctions, cutting out middlemen to provide quality floral products. The website reflects a professional retail e-commerce platform targeting local residents and businesses, with additional worldwide delivery through a partner network. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics for tracking. The design is responsive and user-friendly, with clear navigation and product presentation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CSRF protection, but lacks some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

  4. 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

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 holds a strong market position as a top-rated florist in Peel, Isle of Man, leveraging a long-standing reputation and direct sourcing strategy. Their revenue streams primarily come from retail sales of floral products and add-ons like balloons and chocolates. The target customer segment includes individuals purchasing for occasions such as birthdays, weddings, funerals, and corporate events. The partnership with Direct2Florist expands their delivery reach globally. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on quality and customer satisfaction, supported by positive reviews and trust signals. The business operates as a small-sized retailer with consistent branding and professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating potential gaps in compliance and readiness. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the business to privacy regulation risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance and user consent management.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct usability testing to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of Bootstrap 4.6, jQuery 3.6, FontAwesome, OwlCarousel, and Slick Carousel, indicating a modern and responsive front-end framework. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and cdnfonts.com, and uses CDN services for JavaScript and CSS libraries, which supports performance optimization. The HTML structure is valid and includes SEO-friendly metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format for products and local business information. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and carousels. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be improved with enhanced security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
