The Better Business Act website serves as a professional advocacy platform focused on reforming UK company law to align shareholder interests with social and environmental impact. Supported by a coalition of over 3,000 UK businesses, the campaign positions itself as a leading voice in sustainable business practices. The website provides resources, news, and calls to action to engage businesses and the public in its mission. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, suggesting room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though enhancing privacy and security policies would strengthen its compliance and user trust.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The Better Business Act operates as an important entity in the UK business advocacy sector, focusing on legal reform to promote responsible business conduct. Its business model revolves around coalition building, advocacy, and providing tools and resources to businesses. The campaign has demonstrated significant growth since its 2020 domain registration, now boasting thousands of supporters including notable brands. Its partnerships with organizations like B Lab UK and think tanks such as Demos enhance its credibility and influence. The target audience includes UK businesses, policymakers, and socially conscious organizations. The website content and coalition logos reflect a broad and diverse supporter base, indicating strong market positioning within the sustainability and corporate responsibility niche.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, reflecting basic security best practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contact channels, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for an advocacy website but with opportunities to enhance protections against common web threats and improve transparency around security practices.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Establish and publicize an incident response policy and contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap 4 framework and uses jQuery for scripting. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and Flickity for carousel functionality. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy.com, LLC with domaincontrol.com nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs for fonts and scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though security enhancements and performance optimizations could be further improved.
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.
