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

BB Electrical is a small, established electrical services company founded in 2003, specializing in domestic electrical work across West London and Surrey. The company offers a range of services including electrical installation condition reports, lighting solutions, rewires, and appliance installations. Their market position is that of a trusted local electrician with positive customer testimonials and recognized certifications such as NICEIC registration and Part P approval. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and modern web technologies, providing a good user experience and clear contact information. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented, but lacks some security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies, indicating room for compliance improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable or invalid for the queried domain, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content and contact details support business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security 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

7 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. 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"

    • 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';…

  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 company operates in the energy sector, focusing on residential electrical services in a defined geographic area. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting homeowners and local businesses needing electrical installations and maintenance. Competitive advantages include long-standing operation since 2003, NICEIC certification, and a strong local reputation evidenced by testimonials. Revenue streams likely come from service fees for electrical inspections, installations, and repairs. The company maintains a simple digital presence with limited marketing or analytics tools, indicating a focus on direct customer engagement rather than broad digital marketing. Partnerships appear limited to their website developer. Growth indicators are modest, consistent with a small local business. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital compliance and security to enhance customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse, which are positive security measures. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not provided, which could hinder timely security issue management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible links on the website to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve service delivery.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using Gutenberg blocks and Elementor, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including React and jQuery. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection and a lightbox plugin for image galleries. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, no hosting provider information was discernible from the HTML content. The site lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data, which could be improved for better search engine visibility. Accessibility features are basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website but could benefit from enhancements in SEO, security headers, and privacy 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.
