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

CField Construction is a reputable building and civil engineering contractor operating primarily in Ireland and the UK. The company emphasizes client satisfaction through hands-on management, teamwork, and adherence to quality, safety, and environmental standards. Their website reflects a professional business with a strong portfolio, client testimonials, and multiple certifications, positioning them as a trusted regional player in the construction sector. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI libraries, offering a responsive and user-friendly experience. However, some security best practices such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are not evident. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and certifications support the company's credibility. Overall, the site scores well in content quality, business credibility, and technical implementation but could improve in security posture and privacy compliance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  4. 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
  • 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 targets clients in construction, property development, and civil engineering sectors across Ireland and the UK. Their business model focuses on delivering construction and pre-construction services with a strong emphasis on health, safety, quality, and sustainability. The presence of multiple office locations and a broad client base, including public and private sectors, indicates a medium-sized enterprise with solid market positioning. The company maintains active social media profiles and regularly updates news and project information, supporting growth and client engagement. Partnerships with industry bodies and certifications further enhance their competitive advantage. The website's structured content and client testimonials reinforce trust and professionalism.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, indicating basic encryption for data in transit. However, no explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism, which may be a GDPR compliance gap. No forms were found on the main page, reducing immediate risk from input vulnerabilities, but the absence of an incident response contact or security policy page limits transparency. The site does not expose sensitive data or use outdated libraries visibly, which is positive. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, cookie consent, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider registering WHOIS data publicly or ensuring domain registration information is consistent and verifiable to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS with PHP backend indicated by URL patterns. It uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and various plugins for sliders, galleries, and video playback. The site loads multiple CSS and JS libraries, which may impact performance but provides rich UI features. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive layouts and video players adapted for mobile. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
