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

AutoSolution Ltd is a small, local automotive garage based in Bognor Regis, UK, providing a comprehensive range of vehicle maintenance and repair services including car servicing, diagnostics, MOT testing, and general repairs. The company emphasizes customer service, fair pricing, and convenience with offerings such as free local collection and delivery. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information and service descriptions, positioning the business as a trustworthy local service provider. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Snowplow Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. It is hosted on a CDN ensuring moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, some security best practices such as security headers are missing, and privacy compliance is basic with only standard cookie notifications and links to third-party privacy policies. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and CAPTCHA protection on contact forms, but the absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors raises concerns about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is functional, secure, and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security policies. Strategically, the business should verify and correct domain registration issues to improve trustworthiness, implement additional security headers, and enhance privacy compliance to align with GDPR and other regulations. These steps will strengthen the company’s digital presence and customer confidence.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

AutoSolution Ltd operates in the local automotive repair and maintenance sector, targeting vehicle owners in Bognor Regis and surrounding areas. The business model focuses on providing comprehensive garage services with an emphasis on quality, customer service, and convenience. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like Yell.com for reviews and visibility. Revenue streams likely come from service fees for repairs, diagnostics, MOT testing, and related automotive services. The website content and structure indicate a stable local presence with potential for growth through enhanced digital marketing and service diversification. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The company maintains a consistent brand image and uses trusted third-party analytics and marketing tools to support business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CAPTCHA protection on forms to mitigate spam and automated abuse. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No evidence of exposed credentials, malware, or phishing indicators was found. Privacy policies and cookie notices are present but basic, lacking detailed GDPR compliance statements or data retention policies. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and correct domain registration details with Nominet UK to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve domain legitimacy.
  2. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and security policies detailing GDPR compliance, data retention, and user rights.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform provided by Yell.com (MultiScreenSite) and hosted on a CDN for optimized delivery. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.0 and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Snowplow for user behavior tracking. The site includes Mapbox integration for location display and uses Skrollr.js for parallax effects. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are technical debts that should be addressed to improve overall robustness and 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.
