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

Angel Plumbing Services is a small, family-run plumbing and heating service provider based in London, with over 40 years of experience. The company offers a broad range of services including plumbing repairs, central heating installation, bathroom and kitchen installations, landlord gas safety inspections, and emergency call outs. The website positions the company as reliable, affordable, and professional, targeting residential and commercial customers in North London. The business holds certifications such as Gas Safe registration and APHC membership, which enhance its credibility in the energy sector. Technically, the website is built using a custom CMS platform provided by Yell Multiscreensite, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and analytics tools such as Snowplow. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit privacy and security policies. Performance and mobile optimization are moderate, with basic accessibility features and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and CAPTCHA services to protect forms, but no advanced security headers were detected. The absence of a privacy policy and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a naming error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance of the website. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and trustworthy from a user perspective but would benefit from improved transparency in privacy and security policies, enhanced security headers, and clarification of domain registration details to strengthen trust 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Angel Plumbing Services operates in a competitive local market providing essential plumbing and heating services. Its long-standing presence and certifications provide competitive advantages. The business model focuses on direct service delivery with emergency and 24-hour availability, targeting homeowners, landlords, and small businesses in North London. Revenue streams likely derive from service fees, installations, and maintenance contracts. The partnership with Yell for web hosting and marketing indicates a reliance on established digital marketing channels. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the website's professional presentation and service range suggest a stable local business. No subsidiaries or parent companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and CAPTCHA mechanisms are implemented to protect user interactions. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness indicators. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration inconsistencies introduce risk factors regarding domain legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is uncertain due to missing privacy policy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and consistent with the business identity.
  4. Add incident response contact information and a security policy page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they are up to date and secure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform provided by Yell Multiscreensite, utilizing jQuery 3.7.0 and several third-party services including AddThis for social sharing and Snowplow for analytics. The site uses Mapbox for mapping services and integrates Google reCAPTCHA and Friendly Captcha for bot protection. Hosting appears to be via Yell's CDN infrastructure. Performance is moderate with some optimization for mobile devices, though mobile responsiveness could be improved. The site includes proper meta tags for SEO and uses canonical URLs. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but the absence of security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for modernization and improvement.
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.
