Polly Granville is a small bespoke upholstery and sustainable furniture design business based in London, established in 2011. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence built on WordPress with the Avada theme, optimized for SEO using Yoast. The technical infrastructure is modern but lacks advanced security features such as DNSSEC and security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential compliance gaps. The business appears credible with consistent domain registration data and a clear market niche. Security posture is basic with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical safeguards.

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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company targets customers interested in bespoke and sustainable furniture in London, operating in a niche market with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. The business model revolves around custom design and upholstery services. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, supporting a moderate market position. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website data. The lack of explicit contact information and policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance.
Security posture
The website uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are important for preventing DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security maturity is basic, with recommendations to enhance domain security, implement security headers, and publish compliance policies.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Include clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, with common plugins like Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. It uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain, indicating self-hosting or managed hosting. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The site lacks advanced security configurations and some SEO best practices could be improved by adding missing metadata and structured data for contact and policies.
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.
