Risk levelHigh

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

Adaptable Solutions is a small consultancy business specializing in accessibility and equality services, including consultancy, training, and school workshops. Their website reflects a professional and focused approach to helping organizations meet accessibility and equality goals, targeting businesses and educational institutions primarily in Ireland. The company maintains a consistent brand presence with clear service offerings and contact information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security measures include HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, but lack advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-positioned within its niche, though improvements in security and privacy compliance are recommended.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 company operates in a niche market focused on disability equality and accessibility consultancy. Their business model revolves around providing expert advice, audits, training courses, and workshops tailored to client needs. The presence of social media links and a blog indicates efforts to engage and educate their audience. The company appears to be a small entity without subsidiaries or parent companies. Their market position is that of a specialized consultancy with a focus on inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards. Revenue streams likely come from consultancy contracts, training sessions, and educational workshops. The website content and structure support a professional image aimed at organizations seeking to improve accessibility and equality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, and no dedicated contact channels for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is moderate, reflecting the need for improvements in headers and formal security policies to align with best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA for interactive and security features. The site is mobile optimized and has a good structure with meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized consultancy websites, offering flexibility and ease of content management. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and privacy mechanisms to meet higher compliance standards.
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.
