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

SofaSofa is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in British made fabric and leather sofas, sofabeds, chairs, and footstools. The company operates a direct-to-consumer business model, offering products at manufacturer prices and emphasizing quality craftsmanship. The website is professionally designed and targets consumers seeking high-quality British furniture. The brand maintains a consistent online presence with verified social media accounts and uses a canonical domain sofasofa.co.uk, indicating a strong market position in the furniture retail sector. Technically, the website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Klevu Search, and various marketing and analytics tools. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple tracking and consent mechanisms in place, although explicit security headers and privacy policies are not fully visible in the provided content. The WHOIS data for the domain www.oakridgedirect.co.uk is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered due to naming rules violations, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. However, the website content and canonical domain point to a legitimate and established brand, sofasofa.co.uk. This discrepancy suggests oakridgedirect.co.uk may be an alias or secondary domain without independent registration. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for SofaSofa's retail business but should improve transparency by publishing clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies. Addressing domain registration inconsistencies and enhancing security headers would 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.

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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

SofaSofa operates in the retail and e-commerce sector, focusing on British made sofas and furniture. The company leverages a direct-to-consumer model, reducing costs by selling directly from their workshop. Their market positioning is that of a quality British manufacturer with a strong online presence. The business targets consumers looking for premium sofas and related furniture products. The website integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The presence of social media and Trustpilot widgets suggests active customer engagement and reputation management. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT information in the content limits deeper business intelligence insights. The domain inconsistency may warrant further investigation to ensure brand protection and domain control.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. Multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing are used, with cookie consent mechanisms implemented, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the HTML content, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The WHOIS data anomaly regarding domain registration is a concern for domain trustworthiness but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer or header.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Clarify domain registration status and ensure all used domains are properly registered and controlled to avoid trust issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, a robust and widely used e-commerce platform, ensuring reliable hosting and infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and third-party integrations for search (Klevu), marketing (Mailchimp, Facebook Pixel), and customer engagement (Trustpilot). The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN resources. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit privacy and compliance documentation. The domain usage suggests a possible alias or proxy setup, which should be clarified to avoid confusion or security risks.
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.
