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

Nigel Milne is an independent London-based jeweller specializing in contemporary and 20th century period jewellery, offering bespoke jewellery services. The website indicates the business has retired after 47 years of operation. The site is hosted on Shopify, leveraging standard Shopify technologies including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is currently password protected, limiting public access to content. Technical infrastructure is modern and stable, with good SSL configuration and basic mobile optimization. However, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and security policies, and no contact information is provided on the password page. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and hCaptcha protection but could be improved with additional security headers and published policies. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy but limited in content and compliance disclosures due to its retired status and restricted access.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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 business operates in the retail jewellery sector, targeting general consumers interested in bespoke and period jewellery. The company has a long history dating back to 1999 domain registration and 47 years of operation as stated. The business model is retail and bespoke service focused, with a small company size. The website serves primarily as a brand presence and customer communication channel, now indicating retirement. The marketing ecosystem includes Google and Facebook tracking pixels, suggesting prior active digital marketing efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. The site’s current state suggests a wind-down or archival phase rather than active commerce.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses hCaptcha for form protection, indicating awareness of basic security best practices. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected, which could improve defense-in-depth. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness signals. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with policy publication and header hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security incident response plan.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging Shopify’s CDN and standard JavaScript libraries for analytics and marketing. The site uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and hCaptcha for security and tracking. Performance is moderate with deferred and async loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. The site is hosted by 123-Reg Limited, a reputable UK registrar and hosting provider. The password protection limits content exposure, which may impact SEO and user engagement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and policy disclosures.
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.
