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

Broadway3 is a UK-based family business specializing in laptop, mobile phone, and computer repair services with over ten years of experience. The company emphasizes same-day repairs, local engineer support, and customer satisfaction, serving both home and business clients. Their website showcases a range of repair services, customer testimonials, and contact information, positioning them as a trusted local service provider. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging popular plugins and modern web technologies. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response disclosures. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

11 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

  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

Broadway3 operates in the technology repair sector, targeting UK consumers and businesses needing device repairs. Their business model focuses on service delivery with a strong local presence and repeat customer base. The company leverages digital channels for marketing and customer engagement but lacks formalized privacy and security disclosures. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms for outreach. Growth indicators include a decade-long operation and a diverse service portfolio. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance and security transparency to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers, vulnerability disclosure policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in security best practices. There is no evidence of GDPR compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners or privacy policies. These gaps could expose the business to compliance risks and reduce customer trust. Enhancing security controls and transparency would improve resilience and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie policy and deploy a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Configure and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations and mobile responsiveness. The site uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking services beyond basic contact forms. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated and lack of advanced security configurations. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO further by enhancing meta tags and ARIA attributes.
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.
