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

Romo is a well-established British company specializing in designer fabrics, upholstery, wallcoverings, and related accessories. Founded in 1902, it operates as part of The Romo Group, which includes several subsidiary brands. The company targets interior designers, retailers, and consumers seeking high-end interior textiles, maintaining a strong international presence with showrooms and distributors worldwide. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, showcasing product collections, company information, and multiple contact channels. Technically, the website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Cloudflare services, and a custom CMS built on Yii PHP framework. It is optimized for mobile devices, includes accessibility features, and employs security best practices such as HTTPS, CSRF tokens, and cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate with good SEO and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and security headers, but lacks publicly available security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, though the absence of WHOIS registration data is a concern that slightly reduces trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance transparency and security maturity.

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

4 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
    • 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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. 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';…

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

Romo holds a strong market position as an international leader in high-end interior textiles, leveraging a heritage dating back to 1902. Its business model combines B2B and B2C sales through a network of designers, retailers, and distributors. The company benefits from a diversified portfolio of brands under The Romo Group umbrella, enhancing market reach and product variety. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, wholesale contracts, and specialized services such as contract print services. The target customer segments are interior designers, retailers, and discerning consumers. The company demonstrates growth through international showrooms and digital presence. Partnerships with subsidiary brands and trade portals indicate a robust ecosystem supporting business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of CSRF tokens in forms, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Use of Cloudflare services adds protection against DDoS and enhances content delivery security. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, suggesting good operational security. Compliance with privacy regulations is evident, but further improvements in security communication and incident management are recommended to elevate security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers with reporting mechanisms and stricter policies.
  5. Provide clear contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS using the Yii PHP framework, enhanced with modern JavaScript libraries including React components, jQuery, and Velocity.js for animations. It leverages Cloudflare for CDN and video streaming services, improving performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times. The technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from modernization in some legacy script usage and enhanced security header configurations.
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.
