61/100

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

Chester Solutions Ltd appears to be a small UK-based company specializing in web design and bespoke programming services. However, the website is currently down for maintenance and contains minimal content, limiting insight into their market position or operational scale. The site uses basic web technologies including Google Analytics and Adobe Typekit fonts but lacks modern CMS or frameworks. Security posture is weak with no HTTPS detected and no security headers present. The domain www.chestersolutions.co.uk is not registered according to Nominet WHOIS data, raising legitimacy concerns. No privacy, cookie, or contact policies are available, further impacting trustworthiness. Overall, the digital maturity is low and the site requires significant improvements to meet basic security and compliance standards.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 model focuses on providing web design and bespoke programming services likely targeting small to medium businesses or individuals in the UK. The lack of visible contact information, certifications, or trust signals limits competitive advantage and market credibility. The absence of domain registration data suggests potential issues with domain ownership or usage. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. Growth indicators and revenue streams cannot be assessed due to minimal public information.

Security posture

The current security posture is poor. The absence of HTTPS and security headers exposes users to risks such as data interception and clickjacking. No privacy or cookie policies indicate non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The domain registration failure further undermines trust and raises potential legal or operational risks. The site lacks secure forms or data collection mechanisms, reducing attack surface but also limiting business functionality.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to secure user connections.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure legitimacy and ownership of the domain.
  4. Add clear contact information and business verification details to improve credibility.
  5. Incorporate security headers and conduct a security audit to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML with embedded Google Analytics and Adobe Typekit fonts. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site is static and currently under maintenance, with no forms or interactive elements. Performance and accessibility cannot be fully assessed due to minimal content. SEO optimization is poor with no meta description or keywords beyond the title tag. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible. The technical debt is high given the lack of modern security and compliance 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.
