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

Prime CBD is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in a wide range of CBD products including oils, sprays, e-liquids, capsules, and skincare. The company positions itself as a leading supplier in the UK market, targeting consumers interested in health and wellness products related to cannabidiol. The website also features AJ Nutrition products, indicating a partnership or extended product line. The business was founded in 2018, consistent with the domain registration date, and operates primarily through its online platform built on WordPress and WooCommerce. Technically, the website employs a modern and widely used technology stack including WordPress CMS, WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, WPBakery Page Builder for content management, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing insights. The site is hosted by Ionos SE and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. Mobile optimization and user experience are good, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. From a security perspective, the site has HTTPS enabled and uses standard WooCommerce security features, but lacks advanced security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which is a compliance gap especially under GDPR regulations. No contact emails or phone numbers were found in the provided content, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional with a moderate security posture and some compliance shortcomings. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security policy publication, and contact information transparency would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Prime CBD operates in the retail sector focusing on CBD and nutrition products, serving the UK market. The company leverages e-commerce as its primary business model, selling directly to consumers online. Its market position as a leading UK CBD supplier is supported by a professional website and product range. The partnership with AJ Nutrition expands its product offerings. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales and subscriptions (WooCommerce subscriptions plugin detected). The target customer segment includes health-conscious adults interested in CBD wellness products. The company uses Google Analytics for marketing insights and tracks user behavior for optimization. No explicit parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The business shows moderate digital maturity with room for enhanced compliance and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of WooCommerce and WordPress plugins is standard, but no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected in the HTML content. Absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, indicating no active advanced threat mitigation at the web application layer. Overall, security is adequate for e-commerce but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and adding cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with EU cookie regulations.
  5. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by WPBakery Page Builder for layout management. It uses jQuery and several plugins including FooBox Lightbox and Side Cart WooCommerce. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The hosting provider is Ionos SE, consistent with the WHOIS data. The site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring secure data transmission. Performance is moderate with standard optimization; mobile responsiveness is good. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is basic with meta description present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No JSON-LD structured data or Open Graph meta tags were found in the HTML content provided. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
