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

Woodstone UK is a small, family-run retail business specializing in reclaimed wood and stone flooring products, as well as visual merchandising props. Established in 1995, the company positions itself as a leading supplier in the UK market for natural stone and wood flooring, catering to both residential and commercial customers. Their product range includes reclaimed wood flooring, new engineered wood flooring, and reclaimed stone, supported by a showroom and a yard open by appointment. The business also services visual merchandising needs for high street brands, indicating a diversified revenue stream. Technically, the website is built on the Create.net CMS platform and employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate but lacks important security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency. However, the website content, social media presence, and business certifications like The Truly Reclaimed Standard support the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the site demonstrates a good business and technical foundation but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

Woodstone UK operates in the retail sector focusing on reclaimed and natural flooring materials. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive reclaimed stock, personalized service, and visual merchandising expertise. The business model combines direct retail sales with project-based services for commercial clients. The company targets homeowners, interior designers, and retail brands seeking authentic reclaimed materials. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a dedicated projects showcase. Partnerships with certification bodies like Salvo enhance credibility. The company appears to maintain a small but focused operation with a strong local presence in Surrey, UK.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness. Forms use POST methods and include basic anti-spam honeypot fields, but no advanced input validation or security mechanisms are evident. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the site is functional and secure at a basic level but requires enhancements to meet modern security and privacy standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with jQuery and Google Analytics integrated for user tracking and marketing. It is hosted on a platform using Create.net CMS, which provides content management and e-commerce capabilities. The site loads multiple images optimized for different screen sizes, indicating attention to responsive design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are areas for technical improvement. No hosting provider details were found, limiting infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
