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

Stubbs&Co. London is a specialized retailer and manufacturer of high-quality engagement and wedding bands, targeting both retail customers and trade partners. The company emphasizes design excellence, production quality, and retailer sales support, positioning itself as a premium brand in the jewelry sector. The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and presents a professional user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating room for improvement in privacy compliance. WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to querying the subdomain rather than the registered domain, but the website's professional appearance and business information suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site scores moderately well in content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, but privacy compliance and security best practices require enhancement.

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

7 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 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 company operates in the retail jewelry sector with a focus on engagement and wedding bands. Its business model includes both direct retail and trade partnerships, supported by innovative sales tools and marketing support. The presence of testimonials and a dedicated trade subdomain indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem. The company targets retailers and consumers seeking premium jewelry products. The website's content and structure reflect a mature business with consistent branding and a clear market niche. However, the absence of explicit contact information and limited privacy disclosures may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The partnership with trade.stubbs.co.uk and stubbslondon.com suggests a broader brand presence and potential multi-channel sales strategy.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy on the main domain indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from implementing recommended security headers, privacy compliance features, and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and ensure privacy policy is clearly accessible on the main domain to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Include explicit contact information such as company emails and phone numbers on the main website to enhance business credibility and customer support.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.5 using a custom theme based on the Quest Framework. It utilizes jQuery 3.7.1 and jQuery UI 1.13.3 for interactive elements. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and WordPress core domains. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and the site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No hosting provider information was discernible from the content. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of cookie consent mechanisms. The site would benefit from performance monitoring and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
