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

Westin Store is an e-commerce retailer specializing in luxury bedding, linens, and bath products inspired by the Westin Hotels brand, a subsidiary of Marriott International. The website targets consumers seeking premium hotel-quality sleep and bath products, offering a broad catalog of branded merchandise. The business model is direct-to-consumer online retail with integrated customer support and marketing channels. Technically, the site is built on Magento with extensive use of Adobe Launch, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for privacy compliance. However, the site suffers from a critical security issue: the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which severely impacts the security posture and user trust. The site implements strong privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, including GDPR-compliant policies and DMARC email protection. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good content quality and marketing integration but requires urgent remediation of its SSL/TLS configuration and subdomain takeover vulnerability to improve security and trustworthiness.

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. 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
    • 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. 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

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

Westin Store leverages the strong Marriott brand to position itself as a premium retailer in the hospitality merchandise sector. Its market positioning benefits from Marriott's global recognition and customer base. The business model focuses on online sales of branded bedding and bath products, supported by customer service via phone, email, and live chat. The presence of multiple regional sites and language options indicates a global market reach. The company uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and conversion. Partnerships with Hotels At Home and Marriott further strengthen its operational ecosystem. Growth opportunities exist in expanding product lines and improving site performance.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential interception and data compromise. The site has a strong SPF and DMARC email policy, reducing phishing risks. Cookie consent is well implemented with OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the subdomain takeover vulnerability on staging.westinstore.com presents a significant risk that could be exploited for malicious purposes. The absence of common security headers and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enable HTTPS with modern TLS versions (1.2 or 1.3).
  2. Remediate the subdomain takeover vulnerability by removing or properly configuring the staging subdomain.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Magento e-commerce platform, utilizing jQuery, Adobe Launch (DTM), Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for privacy management. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure as indicated by IP addresses. The site uses multiple JavaScript libraries for UI components such as Slick Slider and Swiper for carousels. Performance is suboptimal with a large page size (~3.5MB) and slow load time (~12 seconds). Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and mobile-specific CSS. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but requires better security 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.
