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

Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

Haddonstone is a specialist company focused on the design and manufacture of high-quality architectural and garden cast stone products. Their website presents a professional e-commerce platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce, targeting architects, builders, and homeowners interested in premium stonework. The site integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and CrazyEgg, supported by a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. Technically, the website is well-structured with modern technologies and good mobile optimization, although some areas such as explicit privacy policy and contact information are lacking. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and consent management, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response details. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but does not negate the overall legitimacy indicated by the website content and technical setup.

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. 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 operates in the Real Estate sector, specifically in architectural and garden stone products. Their business model revolves around manufacturing and direct sales through an online WooCommerce store. The website's market positioning as a trusted specialist is supported by consistent branding and quality content. The presence of advanced marketing tools and tracking indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at customer acquisition and retention. However, the absence of clear contact details and privacy documentation may hinder full customer trust and regulatory compliance. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise primarily serving the UK market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent management, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Cloudflare services and security-related cookies indicates some level of protection against common threats. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in comprehensive security governance. The extensive use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels necessitates ongoing monitoring to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks a formal privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a security.txt file and clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability management and transparency.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize security risks.
  5. Include clear company contact details on the website to improve business credibility and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, enhanced by plugins for composite products and variation swatches. It uses modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are integrated through Google Tag Manager and PixelYourSite. Cookie consent is handled by Cookiebot with granular user controls. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and moderate performance. However, some CSS and JavaScript inline styles suggest potential technical debt. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but Cloudflare services are used for CDN and security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could be optimized further for accessibility and performance.
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.
