46/100

Risk levelHigh

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

BoredOfChores.co.uk is a small UK-based ironing service operating primarily in the Bromley and Orpington areas. The business offers professional ironing with free local collection and delivery, quick turnaround times, and online booking and payment options. The website content is focused on local residential customers seeking convenience in laundry chores. Technically, the site is built on legacy ASP technology with basic JavaScript and CSS, lacking modern frameworks or CMS. Security posture is moderate with visible SiteLock and Trustwave badges but lacks HTTPS enforcement and security headers. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error, which impacts trust and legitimacy perceptions. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from modernization and improved security practices.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: RPC

      Port 135 (RPC) is publicly accessible - RPC - Windows RPC endpoint

      What to do: Consider restricting access to RPC or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company positions itself as a local ironing service with a niche focus on Bromley and surrounding areas. Its competitive advantage lies in free collection and delivery and fast service turnaround. The business model is service-based with online booking and payment, targeting local households. The presence of testimonials and security badges supports credibility. However, the lack of social media presence and limited digital marketing tools suggests a small-scale operation with limited growth focus. The company is registered in England and Wales, reinforcing legitimacy despite domain registration issues.

Security posture

Security maturity is basic. The website lacks HTTPS enforcement visible in the HTML, no security headers are detected, and the login form does not show advanced protections like CSRF tokens. The presence of SiteLock and Trustwave seals indicates some level of security validation, but the absence of modern security controls and the domain registration anomaly reduce confidence. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Cookie consent is implemented, but GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small local service but requires improvements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to secure all site traffic and protect user data.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Enhance login form security by adding CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Regularly update and patch the legacy ASP platform or consider migrating to a modern CMS or framework.
  5. Provide clear privacy and security policies including GDPR compliance details and incident response contacts to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on classic ASP with static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms. Performance is moderate with no visible optimization for mobile or accessibility beyond basic levels. SEO is basic with meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags. The site uses external security badges but no analytics or marketing tools. The legacy technology stack and absence of HTTPS enforcement present technical risks. Modernization and security hardening are recommended to improve reliability and user trust.
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.
