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 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

The company holds a strong market position as a leading flooring supplier in London, leveraging a large physical showroom and an extensive online catalog. Their competitive advantage lies in product variety, quality assurance, and customer service, including free samples and professional installation. The business targets a broad customer base from residential to commercial sectors, with growth potential indicated by active content marketing and digital tools like a room planner. Partnerships are evident through social media and third-party integrations. The business operates primarily in retail with a medium-sized footprint and a focus on UK customers. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

ESB Flooring demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. The use of HTTPS and domain status protections are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear to use reCAPTCHA for spam protection. The lack of a published security or incident response policy and absence of dedicated security contact channels indicate limited formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is implied but could be strengthened with active cookie consent mechanisms and clearer data protection disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO Premium and Schema Premium for SEO enhancements. It uses jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and DNS services. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. Structured data is well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and optimize performance further by reducing third-party script load and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
