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

Mushroom Nutrition, owned by Pure Health Ltd, is a UK-based small business specializing in the e-commerce sale of medicinal mushroom supplements and related educational content. Established since 1997, the company has a mature domain and a focused market position serving healthcare professionals and the general public interested in natural health products. The website is built on Magento CMS with a range of mushroom supplement products and informational resources. Technically, the site uses a mix of legacy and modern web technologies, including jQuery 1.12.1, Prototype, and Bootstrap, with Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA integrated for analytics and security. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA on forms, but lacks DNSSEC, modern security headers, and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with cookie consent and privacy policies present. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve security and technical modernization.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

  4. 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

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 a niche e-commerce sector focused on medicinal mushrooms, leveraging a long-standing brand and UK-based manufacturing. Their business model includes direct retail, wholesale, and educational content distribution. The presence of multiple product lines and a newsletter indicates active customer engagement. Social media channels support brand presence. The company benefits from a mature domain and consistent branding. However, no explicit certifications or advanced trust seals beyond SSL are present. The business appears stable but could enhance transparency with more detailed contact and security information.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of security headers like CSP and HSTS, and use of outdated JavaScript libraries introduce potential vulnerabilities. No published security policy or incident response contacts reduce transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but improvements are needed to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and dependency checks to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento CMS with a combination of legacy (Prototype, Scriptaculous) and modern (Bootstrap, Font Awesome) technologies. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries and uses Google services for analytics and reCAPTCHA. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization present. However, the use of older jQuery versions and lack of DNSSEC indicate technical debt and security risks. The site could benefit from modernization of its tech stack and enhanced security configurations to improve resilience and user trust.
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.
