Chapman Dental Solutions · Healthcare · United Kingdom

Medium risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and Security headers.

Security score

72/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Chapman Dental Solutions is a private dental practice based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, specializing in cosmetic dentistry, dentures, and dental implants. The practice positions itself as a leading provider in the region, offering bespoke dental solutions including veneers, composite bonding, and teeth whitening. Their target audience is private patients seeking high-quality cosmetic and implant dental services. The website is professionally designed and hosted on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and integrated analytics tools. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, alongside Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, the absence of a published privacy policy and terms of service pages indicates room for improvement in compliance and transparency. WHOIS data is unavailable due to lookup errors, which slightly impacts trust assessment but does not detract from the professional presentation and clear contact information provided on the site.

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

2 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. 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 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';…

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 operates in the healthcare sector, specifically dental services, with a focus on private cosmetic dentistry and implantology. Their business model revolves around direct patient services with a strong emphasis on personalized care and advanced dental solutions. The presence of social media channels and customer reviews suggests active engagement and reputation management. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification, but the website content and branding consistency support a credible market presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS header present, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks. Google reCAPTCHA integration helps mitigate automated abuse on forms. However, the site lacks additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency in security incident handling. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing privacy and terms pages, though a cookie consent banner is implemented.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to meet GDPR and privacy best practices.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve legal transparency.
  3. Implement additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its native CMS capabilities and hosting infrastructure. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site loads multiple Squarespace scripts for UI components and performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are properly implemented. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with rich media content. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses a cookie banner with opt-in consent, indicating awareness of privacy regulations.
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.
