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

Pekalp of London is a UK-based luxury furniture manufacturer and retailer with over 40 years of design and manufacturing experience. The company specializes in bespoke and standard furniture collections, serving both residential and commercial clients including hotels and restaurants. Their website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, featuring a modern e-commerce platform and a professional design that supports good user experience and navigation. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports brand visibility. Technically, the site uses contemporary plugins and frameworks, but lacks some security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable and shows an error, which is unusual and warrants further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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

9 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

  2. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

      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

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 the retail sector focusing on luxury furniture with a niche in bespoke designs. Their market position is supported by long-standing industry experience and memberships in recognized trade associations. The business model centers on direct-to-consumer and contract furnishing sales. The website's product categorization and search functionality indicate a customer-centric approach targeting both individual consumers and business clients. The absence of explicit contact details on the homepage may limit immediate customer engagement. The company leverages social media for marketing but lacks visible certifications or security policies on the site. The domain registration inconsistency is a risk factor that should be addressed to maintain credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests incomplete compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Verify and correct domain WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, using popular plugins such as Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder. It employs jQuery and Select2 for enhanced UI components. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
