Gurteen & Sons · Retail · United Kingdom

Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

73/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Gurteen & Sons operates a professional e-commerce website specializing in premium menswear, including shirts, trousers, jackets, shorts, and outerwear. Established in 1784, the company positions itself as a heritage brand targeting discerning male customers seeking quality tailored clothing. The website is well-structured with clear navigation, mobile optimization, and integrated marketing and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security measures such as HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, although some advanced security headers and policies are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, limiting domain registration trust verification, but the website content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, with room for improvement in security policy transparency and vulnerability disclosure.

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. 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 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';…

  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

Gurteen & Sons holds a strong market position as a premium menswear retailer with a long heritage dating back to 1784. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer online sales supported by trade accounts and customer service. The company leverages partnerships with service providers like iocea for platform hosting and Konvert Online for marketing automation. Their target audience is men seeking quality tailored clothing for casual and formal occasions. The website's content and design reinforce brand consistency and trust, supported by clear contact details and social media engagement. The absence of WHOIS data is a limitation but does not detract from the evident operational maturity and market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses CSRF tokens in forms, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the site lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and no dedicated security policy or incident response pages are published. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. These gaps suggest moderate security maturity with opportunities to enhance transparency and defense-in-depth. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve browser security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training for staff to foster a security-aware culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 4.6.2, jQuery 3.5.1, and Glider.js for UI components and responsiveness. It integrates Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation and Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics. Cookiebot manages cookie consent with detailed categorization. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS detected. Performance is moderate with some deferred script loading and event-driven script execution to optimize load times. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO best practices such as meta tags and canonical links are implemented. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party services and lack of some security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
