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

Trade Fabrics Ltd is a small manufacturing company based in Leicestershire, United Kingdom, specializing in quality fashion fabrics for apparel. The company offers large onsite manufacturing capacity, sustainable fabric production, state-of-the-art digital sublimation fabric printing, and bespoke fabric designs. Their target audience includes fashion industry professionals and apparel manufacturers seeking customized and stock fabric solutions. The website is built on the Jimdo platform and hosted by IONOS, featuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating potential compliance gaps. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. However, the WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain may not be properly registered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in security and compliance to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

  3. 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

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

Trade Fabrics Ltd operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on textile and fashion fabric production. Positioned in a renowned textile region, the company leverages onsite manufacturing and digital printing technologies to serve apparel manufacturers and designers. The business model centers on fabric production and bespoke design services, targeting a niche market within the UK. The website content and structure suggest a stable small business with consistent branding and clear contact channels. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of WHOIS registration data is unusual and should be investigated further to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy. The company does not appear to engage in extensive digital marketing or tracking, indicating a conservative online presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant concern, potentially indicating domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not disclosed. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve web security.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to confirm domain legitimacy and ownership.
  4. Establish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to improve business insights while maintaining user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Jimdo CMS platform and hosted by IONOS, leveraging CDN resources from website-start.de. The technology stack includes jQuery and custom Jimdo scripts. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no major errors or broken elements detected. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal but adequate for general use. The absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. There is an opportunity to modernize the security posture and enhance compliance documentation to reduce risk and improve trust.
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.
