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

Boomy Web Company is a small UK-based web design and marketing agency specializing in custom WordPress websites, eCommerce solutions, and digital marketing services. The company targets businesses and individuals seeking modern, mobile-responsive, and Google-friendly websites, primarily serving the Newport and Shropshire areas. Their market position is that of a local specialist with a focus on quality and customer experience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Genesis Framework and Yoast SEO plugin, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and ScrollMagic. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though performance is moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, but some security headers are missing, and there is no cookie consent mechanism, which impacts privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site shows a solid baseline with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security policies, incident response information, and terms of service pages indicates room for improvement in governance and compliance. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming issues, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not negate the legitimacy of the business as evidenced by the professional website. Overall, Boomy presents a professional and trustworthy web presence with minor gaps in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic improvements in cookie consent, security headers, and publishing governance documents would enhance their security posture and compliance standing.

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

5 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 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

Boomy operates as a service-focused small business in the technology sector, providing custom web design and marketing services. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized service, local market knowledge, and expertise in WordPress development. Revenue streams likely include project-based website builds, eCommerce development, and ongoing marketing services. The target customer segment includes small to medium businesses and individuals in the UK, particularly in Shropshire. Growth indicators include a maintained website since 2007 and use of modern digital marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem is limited with no explicit partner domains identified. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding digital marketing offerings and enhancing online trust signals to compete effectively in a crowded market.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and absence of visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposure. However, missing security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate gaps in formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partial; a privacy policy exists but cookie consent mechanisms are absent. There is no evidence of a dedicated data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure program. The business impact of these gaps is moderate, primarily affecting regulatory compliance and user trust. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of published contact channels for security issues. Security culture indicators are limited but the use of updated WordPress and plugins suggests some maintenance awareness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website to demonstrate governance and readiness.
  4. Create and publish terms of service to clarify user and business obligations and reduce legal risk.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, leveraging the Genesis Framework and Yoast SEO plugin for SEO optimization. The inclusion of modern JavaScript libraries like ScrollMagic and jQuery enhances interactivity and user experience. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but potential for optimization exists. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement to meet higher standards. The technical debt appears low, but the absence of some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for modernization. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data provided.
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.
