Daryl Perry Classical Guitars is a Canadian artisanal guitar maker specializing in custom handmade classical guitars crafted using traditional methods and premium materials. The business targets discerning musicians and collectors worldwide, positioning itself as a niche high-end manufacturer with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and quality. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Gravity Forms, supporting good SEO and user interaction capabilities. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling, though the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance and contact transparency of the site. Overall, the site scores well in content and technical implementation but needs to address privacy compliance and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and security.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a specialized artisanal manufacturing sector, focusing on handcrafted classical guitars. Its business model relies on limited production and direct customer inquiries rather than mass sales. The website content and testimonials suggest a well-regarded reputation in the classical guitar community. The lack of social media presence on the site may limit broader marketing reach. The partnership with a local digital marketing agency is evident but no other business partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The company appears small but established, with a focus on quality over volume. Growth potential may be enhanced by improving digital marketing and compliance transparency.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security maturity. The missing WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness and could be a risk factor. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices such as CSP headers, security.txt, and clear privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
Publish a security.txt file and provide incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern theme (X Theme Integrity Light) and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Gravity Forms for user data collection. It uses jQuery and Revolution Slider for interactive and visual elements. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries, but security headers are missing which could expose the site to certain risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
