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

Perfume Click Ltd operates a UK-based ecommerce platform specializing in discounted perfume, aftershave, and beauty products from a wide range of popular brands. The company has a strong market presence with over 2 million customers and a high Trustpilot rating, positioning itself as a reputable online retailer in the beauty sector. Their website offers a comprehensive product catalog, loyalty programs, and multiple payment options, catering primarily to general consumers seeking affordable beauty products. Technically, the website employs modern tracking and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Bing UET, and Trustpilot widgets, alongside a responsive design and search functionality powered by Elasticsearch. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure data transmission. Cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policies demonstrate compliance with GDPR and user privacy standards. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices including encrypted checkout and cookie consent controls. However, the absence of visible security headers, incident response policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules error reduces domain trustworthiness, although the website content and business information appear legitimate and consistent. Overall, the website is professionally designed, user-friendly, and trustworthy from a business and privacy standpoint. Strategic enhancements in security policy transparency and domain registration clarity would further strengthen its security posture and credibility.

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

4 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

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

Perfume Click Ltd is positioned as a medium-sized ecommerce retailer in the UK beauty market, focusing on discounted fragrances and beauty products. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a broad product range with significant discounts, supported by a strong customer base and positive reviews. The business model centers on direct online sales with value-added services such as loyalty points and gift vouchers. The company targets general consumers interested in affordable beauty products, leveraging multiple European localized sites to expand reach. Partnerships with Trustpilot and use of major ad networks enhance brand reputation and marketing effectiveness. The company has maintained consistent branding and content quality since its founding in 2009, indicating stable operations and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and encrypted checkout processes. Privacy compliance is strong, with detailed policies and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy), lack of a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, and missing WHOIS registration transparency represent gaps that could expose the business to risks such as phishing or data breaches. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security culture appears focused on user privacy but could benefit from enhanced transparency and proactive vulnerability management to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publicly disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy (e.g., security.txt) to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS domain registration issue to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Bing UET, Elasticsearch for search, and Glide.js for UI carousels. The site is served over HTTPS with a COMODO SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized image usage. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform, which may require dedicated maintenance. No hosting provider details were found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly ecommerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and performance tuning.
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.
