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

Just Equine Limited operates a well-established UK-based e-commerce platform specializing in equestrian supplies, accessories, and rider clothing. Founded in 2003, the company targets horse riders and equestrian enthusiasts across the UK, offering a comprehensive range of products including horse rugs, bridles, leg protection, girths, saddle pads, and more. The website demonstrates a strong market position as a specialist retailer with a focus on quality and customer service, supported by fast delivery and secure online ordering. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. It integrates multiple third-party services for payments (Stripe, PayPal), marketing (Klaviyo), analytics (Google Analytics, FullStory), and customer support (Tawk.to). The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure suitable for e-commerce. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-compliant privacy policies indicates a good privacy posture. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and secure, with minor gaps in WHOIS transparency and security policy disclosure. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, establishing incident response contacts, and enhancing vulnerability disclosure practices to further strengthen trust 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

5 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
    • 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

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

Just Equine Limited is positioned as a specialist online retailer in the equestrian sector within the UK market. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a wide range of premium equestrian products from leading brands, supported by fast delivery and customer support. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce, generating revenue through online sales. The company targets horse riders and equestrian enthusiasts, a niche but dedicated customer segment. Partnerships with major payment processors and marketing platforms enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement. The website's consistent branding and professional content support a strong market presence, with growth potential through expanded digital marketing and customer experience enhancements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms further protect user interactions and privacy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy and incident response information limits transparency and may impact user trust in case of security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and consent banners. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible security policy on the website to inform users about security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to ensure compliance with best practices and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust WordPress and WooCommerce platform, utilizing modern front-end libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. Integration with multiple third-party services like Stripe, PayPal, Klaviyo, and FullStory indicates a mature technical ecosystem supporting payments, marketing, analytics, and customer support. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in script loading and caching strategies. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured data. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
