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

Capitalcliff Ltd is a UK-based importer and distributor specializing in premium American wellness products such as vitamins, herbal teas, and beauty items. Established in 1989, the company has built strong partnerships with US manufacturers and serves pharmacies, health food shops, and online retailers across the UK. The website reflects a focused business narrative with clear descriptions of its services and history, targeting health and wellness markets in the UK. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, leveraging jQuery for client-side scripting. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with good user experience. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are recommended for enhanced protection. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating a gap in compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from adding privacy and security policies, improving security headers, and providing clear contact information to strengthen compliance and user 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

8 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. Network security

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

    • 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

  3. 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

Capitalcliff Ltd operates as a niche importer and distributor in the UK wellness retail sector, focusing on American wellness brands. Its competitive advantage lies in long-term manufacturer partnerships and a reputation for quality and reliability. The business model centers on B2B distribution to pharmacies and health shops, with potential online retail reach. The company targets health-conscious consumers and retail partners seeking authentic US wellness products. Growth indicators include a mature domain and established market presence since 1989. The partnership ecosystem is primarily US manufacturers, with no evident subsidiaries or parent companies. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital presence and compliance transparency to enhance market trust.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are active, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and best practices. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user support.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by jQuery libraries. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain, indicating self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with better ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. Technical debt appears low but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization. Overall, the infrastructure is stable but could benefit from enhanced security and SEO practices.
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.
