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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  2. 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 company holds a strong market position as a reputable antiques dealer with a long history and physical galleries in two major cities. Its business model combines traditional retail with online presence via WooCommerce. The website's integration of social media and newsletter subscription indicates active customer engagement and marketing efforts. The partnership with a local web agency (Friday) suggests professional digital support. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and consistent domain age reinforce legitimacy. The company appears focused on quality antiques and restoration, appealing to a niche but discerning customer base.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks DNSSEC and does not implement common HTTP security headers, which could expose it to certain DNS and web-based attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance. The use of popular WordPress plugins and themes requires ongoing maintenance to mitigate vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting basic privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional technical controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by explicitly stating GDPR adherence and data retention policies.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Flatsome theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The hosting provider is Blacknight, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses jQuery and other JavaScript libraries for UI components like sliders and popups.
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.
