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

The Aviary is a small hospitality business operating an exclusive event venue in Ormskirk, UK, specializing in weddings, parties, corporate events, and special occasions. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with clear descriptions of services, customer testimonials, and social media integration. The business targets local customers seeking bespoke event experiences in a countryside setting. Technically, the site uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager with basic GDPR consent checks but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or invalid due to domain naming rules, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy from a business perspective but requires improvements in security and compliance documentation.

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

8 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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 Aviary positions itself as a premium venue hire service in the Ormskirk area, leveraging its countryside location and bespoke event planning to differentiate from competitors. The business model focuses on direct venue hire for weddings, parties, and corporate events, supported by a curated supplier list and partnerships such as with Hitched.co.uk. The presence of customer testimonials and active social media channels indicates engagement with its target market. Revenue streams likely derive from venue hire fees and associated event services. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence. Growth indicators include bookings for 2026 and 2027, suggesting forward planning and demand.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed. The use of Google Tag Manager includes a simple GDPR consent check, but no formal privacy or cookie policies are published. No security headers were detected, and no incident response or security policy information is provided. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially indicating an unregistered or alias domain. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement standard security headers, formal privacy documentation, and verify domain registration status.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Configure and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Verify domain registration status with Nominet UK and ensure domain legitimacy to improve trust.
  4. Add incident response contact information and security policy details to enhance transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5 and CSS, enhanced by jQuery for scripting and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for organization and contact details. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Performance appears moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Accessibility is basic but present. The lack of advanced security headers and formal compliance documentation indicates technical debt in security and privacy areas. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve security posture, and enhance compliance with data protection regulations.
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.
