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

BBL is a UK-based full service chartered building company specializing in main contracting, design & build, new build developments, and insurance reinstatement services. The company targets individuals, corporations, insurance companies, and loss adjusters primarily within England. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service descriptions and contact information. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Font Awesome, Slick Carousel, and Google Tag Manager, with embedded Vimeo videos and Google Maps integration. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and includes a CSRF token and cookie consent banner, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust, though the professional website mitigates some risk. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, with room for improvement in security posture and privacy compliance. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, verifying domain registration status, and continuing to maintain GDPR compliance and cookie consent mechanisms. These steps will enhance trust, security, and compliance posture for BBL's online presence.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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

BBL operates in the construction and real estate sector as a small-sized, essential entity providing comprehensive building contracting services. Their business model focuses on delivering turnkey construction projects from conception to completion, targeting a diverse client base including insurance companies and loss adjusters. The company leverages a professional website and LinkedIn presence to establish market credibility. While no direct revenue or growth data is available, the breadth of services and client types suggests a stable regional market position. The partnership with CS One for website design indicates a collaborative approach to digital presence. No subsidiaries or parent companies were identified. The company maintains a clear service portfolio and consistent branding, supporting customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, CSRF protection token present, and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but would benefit from enhanced header policies, documented security practices, and domain registration verification.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration details to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness of the domain.
  4. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack with Google Fonts for typography, Font Awesome for icons, Slick Carousel for interactive sliders, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Embedded Vimeo videos and Google Maps enhance user engagement and location context. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses a cookie consent library to comply with privacy regulations. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
