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

A.P McDonald Funeral Services operates as a local family funeral director based in Devizes, UK, offering caring and personal funeral services with 24/7 availability. The website is built on the Wix platform, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity with basic mobile optimization and standard Wix infrastructure. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the website provides essential business information but lacks comprehensive privacy, security, and contact details, which could impact user trust and regulatory 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

6 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. 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"

    • 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 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

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 business targets local families in Devizes seeking funeral services, positioning itself as a small, family-run funeral director. The business model focuses on personalized funeral arrangements and round-the-clock support. The website content is minimal but relevant, with no evident partnerships or certifications. The lack of detailed business registration information and contact data limits the ability to fully assess market positioning and growth potential. The company relies on Wix for hosting and website management, which simplifies digital operations but may limit advanced customization and security controls.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security policies were found, indicating a low maturity in security governance. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No tracking or analytics scripts beyond Wix defaults were detected, reducing exposure to privacy risks but also limiting business insights. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhancements to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve website security.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Include clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and consider adding vulnerability disclosure and incident response information on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, utilizing Wix's standard JavaScript libraries and CSS stylesheets. The technical implementation is straightforward with no custom frameworks detected. Performance is moderate with standard Wix optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good due to Wix's built-in features. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags and Open Graph data present. No advanced analytics or marketing tools are integrated. The lack of security headers and privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
