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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Blackfoot Cybersecurity operates in the technology sector, targeting UK businesses requiring cybersecurity assurance and management. Their business model focuses on service delivery including audits, penetration testing, managed services, and training. The company leverages certifications like CREST to build trust and differentiate in a competitive market. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a professional digital presence and a comprehensive service portfolio. The absence of privacy and security policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen compliance and customer trust. The company uses modern web technologies and analytics tools to support marketing and user engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and implements cookie consent via CookieYes, indicating awareness of security and privacy best practices. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected in the provided content, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly visible security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adding security headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a publicly accessible security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Hosting and domain registration are managed by IONOS SE, a reputable provider. The site uses standard web technologies including CSS, JavaScript, and SVG graphics for animations. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content.
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.
