Living Creations is a horticultural business specializing in the breeding and sale of durable, winter-hardy Hydrangea plants. Their website showcases a professional and modern digital presence built on React and Gatsby, featuring rich multimedia content and social media integration. The company targets gardeners and plant enthusiasts seeking easy-to-maintain, frost-resistant Hydrangeas that bloom profusely. While the website demonstrates good technical maturity and user experience, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, and no direct contact information is provided. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some legitimacy concerns, although the active website and social media presence suggest a genuine business. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and no obvious vulnerabilities, but security headers and incident response contacts are missing. Overall, the site is well-designed and functional but would benefit from improved compliance and transparency.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Living Creations occupies a niche market in the horticulture sector, focusing on innovative Hydrangea varieties that combine aesthetic appeal with resilience to severe winters. Their business model includes plant breeding, direct sales via an e-commerce subdomain, and providing care and inspiration content to customers. The company leverages social media platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook to engage with their audience and build brand awareness. The lack of detailed company registration or contact information on the website limits full business intelligence assessment. However, the brand appears positioned as a quality-focused, environmentally conscious nursery with a growing market presence.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and modern frontend frameworks, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement. No forms or input fields were detected in the analyzed content, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The missing WHOIS data is a potential red flag for domain legitimacy and could impact trust. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in headers, transparency, and incident response readiness.
Recommendations
Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen security posture.
Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Monitor and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using React and Gatsby, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and Alice Carousel for UI components. It uses YouTube iframe API for video embedding and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tags. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good performance with preloading and responsive images. However, no CMS beyond Gatsby was detected, indicating a static site generation approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and performant but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO structured data.
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.
