Low risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Email security and 1 other check.
BackupVault is a UK-based cloud backup and server recovery service provider specializing in secure, compliant backup solutions for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, and servers. The company targets a broad range of sectors including SMEs, education, finance, healthcare, marketing, hospitality, and real estate, emphasizing UK data sovereignty and 24/7 UK-based support. Their market position is strengthened by recognized certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus, and a strong focus on GDPR compliance. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern performance and SEO optimizations, leveraging tools like Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and various analytics and marketing integrations including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and fast-loading, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, BackupVault demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement, security certifications, reCAPTCHA integration, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, incident response contact details and a security.txt file are not publicly available, representing areas for improvement. Overall, BackupVault presents a professional, trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and security posture. The WHOIS lookup failure on the www subdomain is a technical anomaly and does not detract from the legitimacy of the main domain and business operations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing incident response transparency, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts to maintain security integrity.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
DMARC provides email authentication and reporting
What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.
Risk levels
Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

No leaked records found
Breach holds no records for backupvault.co.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.
Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
