Risk levelHigh

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

Senso Systems is a specialist retailer and installer of premium hi-fi, home cinema, and multi-room audio solutions based in Truro, Cornwall. Established in 2002, the company offers a curated selection of high-end audio products, bespoke home cinema design, and pre-owned equipment sales. Their market position is that of a trusted local expert with a strong brand presence and showroom. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and optimized for SEO and mobile devices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and privacy compliance measures are lacking. The WHOIS lookup failed due to querying the subdomain, limiting domain registration insights. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a small retail business focused on premium audio solutions.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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.

    • 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
  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets discerning consumers in Cornwall seeking high-quality audio and home cinema experiences. Their business model combines product sales with personalized installation services, including multi-room and wireless audio systems. Partnerships with premium brands like Bang & Olufsen and Devialet enhance their market credibility. The presence of a preloved equipment store on eBay indicates diversification and additional revenue streams. The company maintains active social media channels and a well-structured website, supporting customer engagement and brand loyalty. Growth indicators include a curated brand portfolio and bespoke service offerings, positioning them as a niche leader in their region.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates tracking tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, indicating moderate user tracking. No privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Security headers are not detected, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The absence of a security.txt file and contact channels for security incidents suggests limited incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a retail website but could be improved by implementing privacy compliance measures, security headers, and formal vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Configure and deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and provide clear contact information for security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js, and Rellax.js for interactive and visual effects. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit, enhancing typography. The site includes Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and image sliders, but mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content.
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.
