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

AM Windows is a small, locally focused service provider specializing in premium window and door installations in Bristol, United Kingdom. The company positions itself as a premium quality and style provider targeting homeowners and property managers in the Bristol area. The website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting basic privacy compliance efforts. However, the absence of a privacy policy, terms of service, and clear contact information limits trust and compliance. The WHOIS data presents inconsistencies with a domain creation date in the future, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and functional but requires improvements in transparency and security practices to enhance trustworthiness and compliance.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

AM Windows operates in the real estate sector, specifically in home improvement services related to window and door installations. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on local clientele in Bristol. The website content and branding are consistent and professionally presented, supporting a premium market position. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or parent companies. The company appears to be newly founded around 2025 based on website content dates, but domain registration data conflicts with this. The lack of visible contact details and certifications limits business credibility. Marketing and advertising practices are minimal, with no detected ad networks or tracking services beyond cookie consent. The company could benefit from clearer business information and enhanced digital marketing strategies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security measure. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for mature security posture. The WHOIS data inconsistency regarding domain registration date is a red flag for domain legitimacy and potential risk. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhanced security headers, documented policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add clear and accessible contact information including phone numbers and emails for general and security-related inquiries.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to ensure domain registration data is accurate and consistent with business operations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0.2 with a modern theme (Astra) and uses popular plugins like Yoast SEO and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, indicating a contemporary technology stack. It loads Google Fonts and jQuery libraries, which are standard for WordPress sites. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could be improved with optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags are well implemented including Open Graph and Twitter Card metadata. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond the registrar being Namecheap, Inc. There is no evidence of CDN or advanced caching mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website but could be enhanced with performance and security optimizations.
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.
