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

Jims is a Cornwall-based retail business specializing in fishing tackle, art supplies, fancy dress, tools, hardware, and craft materials. The company operates an e-commerce platform built on Magento, targeting UK consumers interested in outdoor leisure and creative hobbies. Their market position is that of a regional specialist retailer with an online presence offering fast UK delivery and click & collect services. The website demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the website leverages a modern Magento CMS infrastructure with RequireJS, jQuery, and various Amasty and Magezon modules for GDPR compliance and page building. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML source, which is a recommended enhancement. The WHOIS lookup failed due to querying an invalid domain name variant, but the website itself is accessible and appears legitimate. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for a small retail business. Strategic recommendations include adding security headers, verifying WHOIS domain registration details, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure ongoing security and compliance.

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

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

Jims operates in the retail sector with a focus on niche markets such as fishing tackle and art supplies. Their business model combines online sales with physical store presence, targeting hobbyists and outdoor enthusiasts primarily in the UK. The company benefits from a clear product categorization and a comprehensive navigation menu, enhancing customer engagement. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and eBay for extended reach. Growth indicators include the use of modern e-commerce technologies and GDPR compliance, positioning them well for continued regional market penetration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and GDPR cookie consent mechanisms in place. The absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests an area for improvement. No signs of vulnerabilities or data leaks were detected in the HTML content. The failed WHOIS query is a procedural anomaly rather than a security concern. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for small retail businesses but could be enhanced for transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen site security.
  2. Correct WHOIS domain queries to use the proper domain name without 'www' prefix to ensure accurate domain registration data retrieval.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS, utilizing RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes, alongside Amasty GDPR modules for privacy compliance. The site uses Magezon Page Builder for content layout and styling. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO metadata. However, the lack of explicit security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
