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

The Block Fashion is an independent premium womenswear boutique located in Hertfordshire, UK. The website presents a professional retail business focused on offering high-quality womenswear fashion. The business targets women interested in premium clothing and operates primarily as a retail boutique. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's hosting and content management capabilities, with Google Analytics and Tag Manager integrated for visitor tracking. The technical infrastructure is modern but basic, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information, which are important for compliance and security posture. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and business information appear legitimate. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

  2. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 Block Fashion positions itself as a premium womenswear boutique serving a niche market in Hertfordshire. Its business model is retail-focused, selling fashion products directly to consumers. The company appears small in size with no indication of subsidiaries or parent companies. The website content and structured data provide clear business contact information, including a physical address and phone number, supporting credibility. The use of Wix as a platform suggests a cost-effective approach to digital presence. The integration of Google Analytics indicates an interest in understanding customer behavior and marketing effectiveness. The lack of privacy and security policies may expose the business to compliance risks, especially under GDPR regulations. There is no evidence of partnerships or affiliate programs from the website content.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URL and Wix hosting) but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and user data protection. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is poor due to missing policies. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved by implementing standard security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security issues (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Improve accessibility features to ensure compliance with accessibility standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  5. Verify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, which provides a managed hosting environment and CMS capabilities. The site uses standard Wix scripts and assets, including Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured data but could be enhanced with more comprehensive metadata and sitemap inclusion. Accessibility features are present but limited. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries, indicating low technical risk. However, the lack of security headers and privacy compliance features represents technical debt and potential compliance 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.
