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

A1R Services Ltd is a UK-based small business specializing in air conditioning, refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air treatment services. Their website, built on the Wix platform, presents a professional image with clear descriptions of their key services including installation and maintenance. The company targets businesses and property owners requiring HVAC solutions, positioning itself as a local/regional service provider in the energy sector. Structured data embedded in the site confirms their physical location and contact phone number, enhancing business credibility. Technically, the website leverages Wix's infrastructure and includes Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. However, no advanced security headers or policies are detected, and there is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Security posture is limited due to the absence of visible security headers and lack of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to a naming rules violation error from Nominet UK, indicating the domain may not be properly registered or is a subdomain. This raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the website being live and functional. Overall, while the business presents a professional front and offers essential HVAC services, the lack of domain registration transparency and missing privacy/security policies suggest areas for improvement to enhance trust and compliance.

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

4 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. 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 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

A1R Services operates in the energy sector focusing on HVAC and refrigeration services. Their business model is service-oriented, providing installation and maintenance to local clients. The website content and structured data indicate a clear market positioning as a regional service provider in Hemel Hempstead, UK. The company appears to have a straightforward revenue stream from service contracts. The absence of privacy and security policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website data. The use of Wix suggests a cost-effective digital presence strategy suitable for small businesses.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options are detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of a security incident response plan or contact channels for reporting security issues. The presence of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates user tracking but without visible privacy controls or cookie consent mechanisms, raising compliance concerns. The failed WHOIS lookup and domain registration irregularities further reduce trustworthiness from a security perspective.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Configure and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Verify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve legitimacy and trust.
  4. Add clear security incident response information and contact channels to demonstrate readiness and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's hosting and content delivery infrastructure. It includes modern JavaScript libraries for analytics and tag management (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager). The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and performance, with basic accessibility features. However, no advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies are detected. The absence of security headers and privacy controls indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. The domain's WHOIS data is missing or invalid, suggesting potential technical or administrative misconfiguration. Overall, the technical stack is typical for small business Wix sites but requires enhancements in security and 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.
