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

Chelsea Hire Complete Event Hire Solutions Ltd operates a professional website focused on marquee and event equipment hire services primarily in Northamptonshire and the Midlands region. The company offers a broad range of event-related hire services including furniture, crockery, kitchen, and refrigeration equipment. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging modern web technologies and includes structured data to enhance search engine visibility. Despite the professional presentation and clear business focus, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a registration error indicating the domain name is invalid under Nominet UK rules. This discrepancy raises questions about domain legitimacy but does not detract from the apparent business credibility based on website content.

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. 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 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';…

  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

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

Chelsea Hire targets event organizers, wedding planners, and catering businesses within Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. The business model is service-oriented, providing equipment hire solutions for events and weddings. The company positions itself as a local specialist with a focus on quality service. The website content is consistent and professionally branded, supporting the company's market positioning. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of incident response information indicate areas for compliance improvement. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager suggests moderate user tracking for marketing insights.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes modern JavaScript libraries and polyfills, indicating a baseline of technical maturity. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which are important for GDPR compliance. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or incident response information suggests limited transparency in security practices. The domain registration inconsistency is a notable risk factor. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy compliance measures, and incident response protocols.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted and built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's proprietary frameworks and services. It includes Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads moderate amounts of JavaScript and CSS, with polyfills for browser compatibility. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic but supported by structured data and meta tags. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from improved security configurations and compliance-related enhancements.
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.
