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

GenuineCopies.tv is a UK-based small retail business specializing in replacement remote controls for TVs, DVDs, Blu-ray players, and projectors. The company has been operating for nearly 15 years, offering device-specific remotes, multi-region DVD remotes, and power supplies. Their business model includes direct e-commerce sales and trade accounts for bulk buyers. The website provides clear product information, contact phone numbers, and payment options via PayPal and Nochex, positioning itself as a niche supplier with a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website uses Bootstrap 3.3.7 and jQuery 3.3.1, with a basic but functional design. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO practices are minimal but present. No CMS or advanced hosting details are evident. The site performance is moderate, with no advanced analytics or tracking detected. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and explicit HTTPS confirmation, which lowers its security posture. Forms use GET methods and do not collect sensitive data, but security best practices could be improved by adding headers and using POST for forms. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is unavailable, which impacts domain trust assessment, but the website content and contact information appear legitimate. Overall, GenuineCopies.tv presents a moderate risk profile with opportunities to improve security and privacy compliance. The business appears credible within its niche, but the lack of WHOIS transparency and security headers should be addressed to enhance trust and resilience.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. 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

GenuineCopies.tv operates in the retail and technology sectors, focusing on replacement remote controls and related accessories. The company targets consumers and businesses needing specific remotes and power supplies. Its competitive advantage lies in device-specific remotes, multi-region DVD remotes, and quick adaptation to new models. Revenue streams include direct sales and trade accounts. The company maintains a UK base with nearly 15 years of operation, indicating stability and market presence. Partnerships with PayPal and Nochex support payment processing. The website content is professional but basic, reflecting a small business with limited digital marketing or advanced e-commerce features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS. HTTPS usage is assumed but not confirmed, which is a critical gap. Forms do not collect sensitive data but use GET methods, which is not ideal. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional but requires improvements in security best practices and compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and strong cipher suites.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Switch form methods from GET to POST for any user input to improve security and privacy.
  4. Introduce a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  5. Obtain and publish WHOIS information or use a reputable registrar to improve domain trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy Bootstrap 3.3.7 framework and jQuery 3.3.1, indicating a somewhat dated technology stack. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for keywords and description, but lacks modern SEO and accessibility enhancements. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic but functional. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The site relies on external CDNs for Bootstrap and jQuery. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking tools, which limits data-driven insights but reduces privacy concerns.
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.
