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

The Naked Watchmaker is a specialized online platform dedicated to providing in-depth educational content and insights into the art and craft of watchmaking. It offers a variety of services including detailed watch deconstructions, interviews with horological experts, book reviews, and an e-commerce shop selling watch-related products. The website targets watch enthusiasts, collectors, and professionals interested in horology. Technically, the site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrating Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS but lacks some advanced security headers such as HSTS and CSP, which are recommended for enhanced protection. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and enhanced security headers.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…
  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
  • 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 Naked Watchmaker occupies a niche market within the horology education and content publishing sector. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized, high-quality photographic and written content that appeals to a dedicated audience of watch collectors and enthusiasts. The business model combines content monetization through educational masterclasses and e-commerce sales of watch-related products. The presence of partner domains hosting complementary content such as book reviews and glossaries indicates a strategic ecosystem approach. The company appears to be a small-sized entity based in Switzerland, focusing on quality and expertise rather than scale. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and continuous content updates. The lack of explicit company registration details and physical addresses suggests a sole proprietorship or small business structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers like HSTS, Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager, which are standard but require regular review to mitigate supply chain risks. Privacy policies and cookie consent banners indicate awareness of data protection regulations, including GDPR compliance. Incident response and security policy documentation are not present, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a content-focused website but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and other code injection attacks.
  3. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  4. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a popular website builder and hosting platform, which provides a stable and secure infrastructure. The technology stack includes modern web standards such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of Typekit fonts for typography. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for performance, though some images use 'contain' object-fit which may affect visual consistency. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities for modernization include adding advanced security headers and improving 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.
