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

Reconomy Connect Development is a UK-based leader in waste and resource management, offering a comprehensive suite of services including commercial waste collection, recycling, hazardous waste management, and recycling equipment. The company operates under the Reconomy brand, which unifies multiple waste management capabilities into a single market-leading offering. Their target audience primarily consists of businesses seeking sustainable and cost-effective waste solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supporting a large-scale operation with over 700 employees and serving more than 13,000 customers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contacts. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which introduces some uncertainty regarding domain age and registration legitimacy. However, the professional presentation and consistent branding mitigate this concern to some extent. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture with room for improvement in transparency and policy disclosures. Strategically, the company should focus on publishing clear privacy, security, and incident response policies to enhance trust and compliance. Regular security audits and updates to third-party scripts will further strengthen their security posture.

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

  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.

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Reconomy Connect holds a strong market position as a leading UK waste management specialist, leveraging a unified brand to consolidate services and expand market reach. Their business model centers on B2B outsourced waste and resource management, targeting a broad range of industries requiring sustainable waste solutions. The company benefits from a large customer base and a skilled workforce, supported by partnerships and subsidiary domains that enhance service delivery. Growth indicators include recent rebranding efforts and integration of advanced recycling technologies. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for equipment and customer portals, indicating a comprehensive service network.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and use of reputable analytics and marketing tools. However, the absence of published security policies and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site uses modern libraries but should maintain vigilance on third-party script security. GDPR compliance is indicated through cookie consent but lacks explicit privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages linked prominently on the website.
  2. Develop and display a formal security policy including incident response procedures and contact information.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery 3.4.1, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Gravity Forms for contact forms. The presence of Slick Slider and Lity lightbox indicates interactive UI components. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern but requires ongoing maintenance to ensure security and performance.
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.
