68/100

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

The Beauty Shop is a women-owned, B Corp-certified strategic creative agency based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in accessible brand and website design for purpose-driven companies. Their market position is strengthened by a clear focus on inclusivity and sustainability, serving a diverse client base including retail brands, startups, nonprofits, and government entities. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a well-structured portfolio and clear navigation. Technically, the site is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Typekit fonts. It is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though additional security headers could enhance protection. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the professional web presence and social media links provide some reassurance. Overall, the site is secure and professional but would benefit from improved privacy disclosures and domain registration transparency.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  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

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

  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 Beauty Shop operates as a small, specialized creative agency focusing on branding and website design for socially conscious and purpose-driven clients. Their B Corp certification and women-owned status provide competitive advantages in the market. Revenue streams likely include design services and consulting. The client base spans multiple sectors including retail, health, science, architecture, nonprofits, and government, indicating a broad but targeted market approach. The agency maintains a strong partnership ecosystem through social media and industry certifications, positioning itself as a trusted creative partner in Portland and beyond.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options limits defense-in-depth. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is weak, with no cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar laws. Overall, security is good but could be improved with enhanced headers and privacy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the lack of WHOIS data to ensure domain registration legitimacy and reduce trust concerns.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

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.
