Risk levelHigh

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

Radharc Custom Knives is a small artisanal business specializing in handcrafted custom knives, including hand forged Damascus blades and exotic hardwood handles. The company targets hunters, collectors, and chefs, offering unique and one-of-a-kind knives with a lifetime guarantee. The website reflects a niche market position with international shipping capabilities and direct sales through the site and social media channels. Technically, the website is built using outdated Microsoft FrontPage technology, lacks HTTPS, and has minimal modern web features, resulting in a basic user experience and limited mobile optimization. Security posture is weak due to absence of HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies, although no forms or sensitive data collection reduce immediate risk. Overall, the site provides essential business information and contact details but requires modernization and improved compliance 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.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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 business operates in a niche artisanal manufacturing sector, focusing on custom knife making with a direct-to-consumer sales model. Its competitive advantage lies in handcrafted quality, unique designs, and use of premium materials. Revenue streams likely come from custom commissions and direct sales, supported by international shipping. The company maintains a modest online presence with social media engagement and PayPal payment integration. Growth potential may be limited by outdated web technology and lack of modern e-commerce features. Partnerships with payment processors and link exchange members support operations but no subsidiaries or parent companies are indicated.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low, primarily due to lack of HTTPS and absence of security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing exposure to input-based vulnerabilities. Use of outdated CMS software increases risk of unpatched vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvement to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Upgrade website platform from Microsoft FrontPage to a modern CMS or framework.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Consolidate and update analytics scripts to current standards and ensure privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy technology (Microsoft FrontPage 6.0) with static HTML and JavaScript for image swapping and Google Analytics tracking. Multiple Google Analytics scripts are included, some with deprecated or placeholder IDs. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is likely slow due to outdated design and lack of modern optimization techniques. No CMS or modern frameworks detected. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available. The site structure is simple with basic navigation and limited SEO optimization.
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.
