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

Capel Court Ltd is a small UK-based financial advisory firm specializing in bespoke wealth management and financial planning services. It operates as a partner practice of Clifton Wealth Partnership, providing restricted advice on a curated selection of financial products. The website clearly targets private individuals, family estates, and business owners seeking long-term financial planning and investment advice. The company is FCA authorized, reinforcing its legitimacy and regulatory compliance. Technically, the website is built on a WordPress platform with Bootstrap framework, integrating Google Tag Manager and Analytics for user tracking with a compliant cookie consent mechanism. The site is mobile optimized and presents a professional, consistent brand image. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though additional security headers and published policies could enhance trust.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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

The business positions itself as a trusted wealth management partner with a focus on holistic financial planning, retirement, investment, and protection services. Its restricted advice model limits product offerings to select providers, which may streamline client choices but also narrows market scope. The partnership with Clifton Wealth Partnership enhances brand strength and market reach. The company targets affluent individuals and business owners in the UK, leveraging regulatory authorization to build trust. The website content and structure support a professional image, though absence of terms of service and explicit security policies suggests room for maturity. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates a data-driven marketing approach with user consent. The company appears stable but small in size, with growth potential tied to partner collaboration and digital presence improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information. The presence of a cookie consent banner with opt-in for analytics reflects good privacy practices aligned with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency in security management. The lack of WHOIS data is due to domain structure rather than malicious intent, but it reduces traceability. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could benefit from enhanced security controls and published policies to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the site against common attacks.
  3. Create and publish a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap framework for responsive design. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking user behavior, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism that allows users to opt-in for analytics cookies. The site loads CSS asynchronously for performance and uses modern web fonts via Typekit. The HTML structure is valid and semantic, supporting SEO and accessibility at a basic level. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive navigation and layout. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but meets basic standards. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business website but could be improved with enhanced security headers and accessibility features.
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.
