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

Ashton Mill Services Ltd is a small UK-based company specializing in property clearance, probate valuations, storage, removals, deliveries, and waste disposal services. The company targets local customers in Wiltshire, England, providing personalized and tailored services. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, featuring structured data for local business identification and customer trust signals such as aggregate ratings. Technically, the site leverages Wix's hosting and standard web technologies, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is basic, with HTTPS enforced but lacking advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable and indicates the domain name is invalid per Nominet UK rules, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy front for a local service business but requires improvements in privacy compliance and domain registration transparency.

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"

    • 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';…

  2. 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 business operates in the real estate services sector, focusing on property clearance and related logistics. Its market position is local and service-oriented, with a clear business model centered on direct customer service. The company benefits from positive customer reviews and a consistent brand presence online. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely derive from service fees for clearance, valuation, storage, and removals. The website's lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests limited digital maturity in compliance. The absence of social media links or advanced marketing tools indicates a focus on traditional or direct customer engagement rather than broad digital marketing.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no security certifications are displayed. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The WHOIS data anomaly is a significant concern, suggesting potential domain registration issues. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen website security.
  3. Clarify domain registration status and ensure domain is properly registered to improve legitimacy.
  4. Provide incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Enhance digital marketing presence with verified social media links and analytics tools for better customer engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and JSON-LD structured data. The site loads assets from Wix's CDN and uses Wix's proprietary scripts for rendering and functionality. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced SEO techniques detected. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts suggests minimal user data collection. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility 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.
