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

Royal Crown Derby is a prestigious luxury brand specializing in handcrafted fine bone china tableware and home accessories, with a heritage dating back to 1750. The company targets discerning consumers seeking high-quality, elegant products made in England. Their market position is strong within the luxury retail sector, serving notable clients including Royal Families and high-end hospitality establishments. The website reflects this heritage with professional design, rich content, and clear navigation, supporting an e-commerce business model with bespoke commission services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Rank Math SEO for performance and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error from Nominet UK, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the website content and branding are consistent with a legitimate, established business. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, and contact information is clearly provided. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for a luxury retail business, but the domain registration anomaly warrants further investigation to ensure full legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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 384-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. 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 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

Royal Crown Derby operates in the luxury retail sector, focusing on fine bone china tableware and home accessories. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing heritage since 1750, craftsmanship, and bespoke services for private and corporate clients. The business model combines direct e-commerce sales with bespoke commission offerings, targeting affluent consumers and prestigious clients. The website supports this with comprehensive product catalogs, detailed collections, and rich storytelling about heritage and craftsmanship. The company leverages digital marketing tools and analytics to optimize customer engagement and sales. Growth indicators include a broad product range, collaborations, and a strong brand presence online. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of nonce in cookie scripts indicates attention to security in client-side scripting. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS registration anomaly to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components and Google Tag Manager and Analytics for marketing and tracking. Fonts are loaded from Typekit and Google Fonts. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized using Rank Math SEO plugin. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism with nonce protection, indicating good client-side security practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
