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

Aura Brand Solutions Limited is a UK-based specialist in brand implementation and image management, serving sectors such as transportation, retail, and energy. The company offers comprehensive services including vehicle fleet branding, train refurbishment, signage, and architectural branding. It holds reputable certifications such as 3M Select Platinum Partner and is recognized with multiple industry awards, positioning it as a trusted and established player in its market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with rich content and clear navigation, targeting businesses requiring expert brand management solutions. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Slick Carousel, Flickity, and HubSpot forms, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. SEO and accessibility practices are well implemented, and the site is mobile optimized. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Despite this, the website's professional presentation, certifications, and active social media presence support its credibility. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security and compliance posture with room for improvement in transparency and domain registration clarity. Strategically, Aura should verify and publish domain registration details, enhance security headers, and provide explicit incident response contacts to strengthen trust and compliance. These steps will improve their security posture and reassure clients and partners of their commitment to best practices.

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

4 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. 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';…

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

Business profile

Aura Brand Solutions operates in a competitive niche of brand implementation and image management, focusing on large commercial and public sector clients. Their business model revolves around providing end-to-end branding solutions including design, production, installation, and aftercare. The company leverages partnerships with industry leaders like 3M and FESPA UK to ensure quality and trust. Their market positioning is reinforced by multiple awards and certifications, indicating strong industry recognition. The target customers are businesses with significant physical branding needs such as fleet operators, retailers, and architectural projects. Growth indicators include a global reach through partnerships and a comprehensive service portfolio. The company maintains a professional digital presence with active social media engagement and content marketing via case studies and news updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and may expose the site to certain risks. The lack of a security.txt file also reduces the ease of vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing explicit security policies to improve incident response readiness and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish domain registration details and verify WHOIS information to resolve inconsistencies and improve trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Create and publish a security policy page and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of established JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3, Slick Carousel, Flickity, and Modernizr, indicating a stable and mature front-end technology stack. HubSpot forms integration suggests use of HubSpot CMS or marketing tools. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tag management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and asynchronous script loading implemented. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries, but the Bootstrap version is somewhat dated and could be updated for improved security and features.
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.
