Risk levelMedium

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

Caledonian Electrical Services Ltd is a small, trusted electrical contracting company operating primarily in Glasgow and Central Scotland. Established in 2010, the company offers a broad range of electrical services across domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors, including consumer unit upgrades, rewires, electrical inspections, lighting, EV charger installations, and specialist electrical works. The company holds key industry certifications such as NICEIC and SafeContractor approvals, enhancing its market credibility and trustworthiness. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting local clients seeking reliable electrical services. Technically, the website is built using the Canva Website Builder platform, employing modern web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS. It is hosted under a domain registered with IONOS SE, with HTTPS enabled and basic security headers implemented. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, indicating a minimal user tracking approach. From a security perspective, the website benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and comprehensive security headers. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and best security practices. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, showing a consistent and legitimate domain registration history. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security policy disclosures to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Caledonian Electrical Services Ltd occupies a niche in the local electrical contracting market, leveraging certifications like NICEIC and SafeContractor to differentiate itself. Its business model focuses on providing comprehensive electrical services to residential, commercial, and industrial clients, with a strong emphasis on safety and compliance. The company appears to have stable operations since 2010, targeting the Glasgow and Central Scotland regions. The lack of social media presence and limited digital marketing tools suggests a traditional or localized marketing approach. The company’s trust indicators and certifications support its competitive positioning, although digital maturity could be improved to capture broader market segments and enhance customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a foundational security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection in place. Basic security headers such as Referrer-Policy are present, but critical headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are missing, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site does not implement privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance and security concern. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in policy disclosures and security headers to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Canva Website Builder platform, utilizing standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with the domain registrar IONOS SE, although specific hosting details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness but basic SEO and accessibility features. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking tools, indicating minimal data collection. The absence of forms reduces attack surface but also limits user engagement capabilities. The technical implementation is solid for a small business site but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security features to improve overall digital maturity.
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.
