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

RDJ Shutters Ltd is a UK-based small business specializing in bespoke interior window shutters and wooden blinds, serving customers primarily in Hertfordshire but with a national reach. The company emphasizes quality, bespoke service including free home visits, expert advice, and professional measuring and fitting. Their market position is strengthened by accreditation as a Which Trusted Trader and positive client testimonials. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy business with clear contact channels and detailed product offerings. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms for data collection, and SEO optimization via Yoast. Hosting is provided by Zen Internet Limited, a reputable UK provider. The site performs moderately well with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented using Google Analytics and Hotjar, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs basic security best practices such as form validation and spam protection. However, it lacks advanced security headers like Content Security Policy and does not provide a security policy or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partial; a privacy policy and terms of service are present, but no cookie consent mechanism is detected. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and a solid technical foundation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security policy 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

5 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 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 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

RDJ Shutters Ltd operates in the home improvement and real estate sector, focusing on bespoke window shutters and blinds. Their business model is direct-to-consumer and business-to-business, offering tailored products with installation services. The company leverages local trust signals such as Which Trusted Trader accreditation and positive reviews to differentiate itself in a competitive market. Revenue streams likely include product sales, installation fees, and possibly consultation services. The target customer segment includes homeowners and commercial clients seeking quality interior window solutions. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem with trusted accreditation bodies and a professional web development agency. Growth indicators include a long-established domain and consistent branding. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital marketing and enhancing compliance to support scaling.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of spam prevention in forms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response plan indicate gaps in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose regulatory risks. The site uses reputable third-party services for analytics and tracking, which should be monitored for privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls to mitigate emerging threats and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  2. Add a security.txt file and publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Deploy additional security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins, themes, and third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms, and Yoast SEO. Hosting is provided by Zen Internet Limited, a reputable UK provider, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site uses asynchronous loading for fonts and analytics scripts to optimize load times. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and accessible navigation. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility compliance and security header implementation. The use of third-party tracking tools like Hotjar and Google Analytics indicates a focus on user behavior analysis but requires careful privacy management. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business but should be continuously monitored and enhanced to maintain performance and security.
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.
