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

Abbey View Physiotherapy is a small healthcare service provider based in Dorset, UK, offering a wide range of physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture, fitness classes, and rehabilitation services. The company targets individuals seeking health and wellness treatments and fitness programs. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and provides comprehensive information about services and contact options. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern plugins and themes, with good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks some security headers and formal privacy/cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, potentially impacting domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy from a user perspective but would benefit from improved compliance and security transparency.

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

9 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

The business operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on physiotherapy and related wellness services. It has a local market position in Dorset with a diverse service offering including shockwave therapy, laser therapy, nutrition, and fitness assessments. The business model is service-based, targeting individual clients through direct appointments and classes. The website indicates a foundation year of 2016, but domain registration data is missing, which may warrant further investigation. The company maintains a partner relationship with gaitandmotion.co.uk for biomechanics solutions. The website content and structure suggest a stable, small-sized business with a professional approach to client engagement and marketing.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern WordPress plugins, which is positive for security. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, which may expose compliance risks under GDPR. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and formalize privacy and security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and LayerSlider. It uses Google Fonts and jQuery libraries. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some heavy slider content that may impact load times. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
