Risk levelLow

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

Funky Pigeon is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in personalized greeting cards, gifts, and flowers. The company operates under the parent company WH Smith PLC, positioning itself as a significant player in the UK retail market for personalized gifting solutions. The website offers a broad range of products tailored for various occasions, targeting consumers seeking unique and personal gift options. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with integrations for customer data platforms and marketing analytics, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and provides comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, indicating a strong commitment to user data protection. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable anomaly, though the overall site professionalism and parent company association mitigate concerns. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts, enhancing accessibility, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts to sustain 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.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

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

Funky Pigeon leverages its affiliation with WH Smith PLC to maintain a strong market presence in the UK retail sector, focusing on personalized greeting cards and gifts. Its business model centers on online sales with personalization features, catering to a wide demographic of consumers. The company benefits from a well-established brand and a comprehensive product catalog, supported by active social media channels and marketing tools. The use of advanced customer data platforms like Exponea suggests a focus on customer experience and targeted marketing. While the domain's WHOIS data is missing, the business operations and digital footprint indicate a legitimate and established enterprise. Growth opportunities may lie in expanding product lines and enhancing mobile and accessibility features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits external security engagement. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by formalizing and publishing security governance documents and enhancing accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact details to facilitate reporting and response.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to engage security researchers.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet or exceed compliance standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Funky Pigeon's website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. The integration of customer data platforms and marketing tools like Exponea and Google Tag Manager indicates a sophisticated approach to user engagement and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and employs standard SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and accessibility. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the use of CDN services like Impact CDN and OneTrust for consent management suggests a distributed and scalable infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal but should be monitored through regular security audits and performance tuning.
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.
