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

Alan Jones Chartered Surveyors is a well-established, family-run professional property services firm operating since 1977 in the United Kingdom, specializing in building surveying, architectural design, project management, and related commercial and residential property services. The company targets clients across the Fylde Coast and Preston regions, offering a broad range of services including commercial services, building surveys, party walls, dilapidations, architecture, and project management. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and trust indicators such as RICS regulation. Technically, the website is built on GoDaddy's Website Builder platform, uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and incorporates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. However, it lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner present, but no terms of service or security policy is published. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and safe for general audiences.

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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

The company holds a strong local market position as a trusted provider of surveying and architectural services with over 75 years of combined experience. Its business model focuses on professional services for both residential and commercial clients, emphasizing personalized client relationships and repeat business. The firm operates from two physical locations in Blackpool and Preston, indicating a small-sized enterprise. The absence of social media links or advanced marketing tools suggests a traditional business approach. The company’s RICS regulation and long domain age support its credibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content or WHOIS data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting the contact form. The lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represent areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with basic GDPR compliance, but no explicit GDPR statements or data protection officer contacts were found. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small professional services firm but could be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement key security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add terms of service to clarify user and client obligations and legal protections.
  5. Consider adding GDPR-specific compliance statements and appointing a data protection officer contact to strengthen privacy posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using GoDaddy Website Builder and hosted by GoDaddy.com, LLC, with a domain registered since 2001. The site uses modern web fonts and standard HTML5/CSS3 technologies. Performance is moderate with no evident heavy scripts or trackers. Mobile optimization is good, and accessibility is basic but functional. SEO is basic with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection on the contact form. No advanced analytics or marketing tools were detected. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening.
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.
