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. 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 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

B Lab UK operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on sustainability certification and advocacy. Its business model revolves around certification services, educational programs, and campaigns that engage UK businesses in social and environmental responsibility. The organization benefits from its affiliation with B Lab Global, enhancing credibility and reach. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a clear target audience of UK businesses seeking B Corp certification. Partnerships such as the Better Business Act campaign further strengthen its ecosystem. The organization's market position is strong within the UK sustainability certification niche, with growth potential tied to increasing demand for responsible business practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers likely implemented. Use of reCAPTCHA on forms and a cookie consent mechanism indicate attention to security and privacy best practices. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, incident response contact details, and a vulnerability disclosure policy are gaps that could be addressed to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is high but could be improved with more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies related to analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based frontend with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred execution to optimize performance. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, all managed with a consent mechanism via CookiePro. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Hosting details are not explicit, but the registrar is Freeola Limited, a UK-based provider. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generator approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with good SEO and accessibility 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.
