Risk levelLow

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

Adaptive Web Ltd is a specialized Drupal agency based in the Midlands, UK, focusing on Drupal website support, development, hosting, AI integration for Drupal, and performance and security optimization. The company positions itself as an experienced service provider catering to businesses seeking Drupal-related digital solutions. The website reflects a professional and modern technical infrastructure built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2, enhanced by marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Visual Website Optimizer. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit privacy and terms of service policies on the homepage and the lack of visible contact information limit transparency. The WHOIS data is unavailable and shows an error indicating the domain cannot be registered due to naming rules, which is inconsistent with the website's live status and reduces trustworthiness. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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.

    • 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

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

Adaptive Web Ltd operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting Drupal-based web development and hosting services. Their business model revolves around providing specialized Drupal support, development, and hosting solutions, including AI enhancements and optimization services. The company targets businesses and organizations requiring Drupal expertise, primarily in the UK market. The website's use of advanced marketing and analytics tools suggests a focus on growth and customer engagement. However, the lack of detailed company contact information and official policies may hinder trust and customer confidence. The suspicious WHOIS data discrepancy warrants further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy and ownership. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data anomaly raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Incident response and security policies are not publicly available, limiting assessment of preparedness. The use of multiple third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces potential privacy and security risks that should be managed carefully. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers, transparency, and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and resolve WHOIS discrepancies to strengthen trust and legitimacy.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including company phone numbers and email addresses to improve customer support and credibility.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate security readiness and build stakeholder confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 with Commerce 2, indicating a modern and scalable CMS platform suitable for e-commerce and content management. The integration of Font Awesome 6 Pro provides rich iconography, enhancing UI/UX. Marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Visual Website Optimizer, and Cookiebot are actively used, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading and mobile optimization meta tags present. Accessibility features are basic but present. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The WHOIS data issue suggests potential technical or administrative irregularities that should be investigated. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and clearer administrative transparency.
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.
