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

Tanz Limited operates a regional tanning and beauty service business in Scotland, offering sunbeds, spray tans, slimming products, and teeth whitening services. The company maintains a professional online presence with an e-commerce platform and active social media channels, targeting consumers seeking beauty and tanning solutions. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern plugins and technologies to support booking and sales functionalities. The technical infrastructure is solid with HTTPS enforced and a good level of SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good, though the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a registration error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and business information appear credible and professional. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy business front with moderate technical maturity and some compliance gaps.

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. 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. 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';…
  3. 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention tanztanning.co.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for tanztanning.co.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Tanz Limited holds a medium-sized market position in the Scottish tanning and beauty sector, leveraging both physical salons and an online shop to generate revenue. Their business model combines retail sales of tanning and beauty products with service offerings such as sunbeds and teeth whitening. The company benefits from a consistent brand image and active engagement on major social media platforms, enhancing customer reach and loyalty. The presence of Klarna payment options and Worldpay integration indicates a focus on convenient customer transactions. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and domain registration inconsistencies could pose risks to brand trust if not addressed. Strategic partnerships with payment processors and a clear physical address support operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable plugins and modern JavaScript libraries supports secure operations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which may hinder transparency and preparedness. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism also indicates partial GDPR compliance. Regular updates and implementation of recommended security headers, along with publishing a security.txt file, would enhance the security maturity and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve domain registration inconsistencies to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates several modern JavaScript libraries and plugins such as Booknetic for booking, Flatpickr for date selection, and Select2 for enhanced UI elements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some scope for optimization. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-integrated but could benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
