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

Annadale Roofing Ltd is a well-established roofing company based in Bootle, Merseyside, with a history dating back to 1985. The company specializes in a wide range of roofing services including roof repairs, replacements, flat roofs, chimney repairs, and guttering, primarily serving the Liverpool, Wirral, and broader Merseyside area. Their market position is that of a trusted local expert with a focus on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction, supported by certifications such as Trustmark and NFRC membership. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, hosted by Heart Internet Limited. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and performance optimization. From a security perspective, the website benefits from HTTPS encryption and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and published security policies such as privacy, cookie, and incident response policies. The absence of these policies represents a compliance gap, especially regarding GDPR. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the visible content. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the business but should prioritize adding privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, and publishing incident response information to improve compliance and security posture. These steps will strengthen customer trust and reduce potential legal and security risks.

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

9 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  3. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

Annadale Roofing Ltd operates in the real estate sector, focusing on roofing services for residential and commercial clients. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1985, local expertise in Merseyside, and certifications that enhance credibility. The business model is service-oriented, providing free quotes and professional roofing solutions. Target customers include homeowners, builders, and property developers. The company shows growth potential through expanding local clientele and maintaining a strong online presence with customer reviews and social media engagement. Partnerships with Trustmark and NFRC indicate a commitment to quality and standards. The company’s operations appear stable with a clear focus on customer service and quality workmanship.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. There are no published security policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is incomplete due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the HTML content. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Owl Carousel for interactive elements. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for aesthetics and analytics respectively. The site is hosted by Heart Internet Limited, a reputable hosting provider. Performance is moderate with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The HTML structure is valid and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site build. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by updating security headers and improving privacy compliance.
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.
