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

Choices Rehabs is a UK-based organization representing independent addiction treatment centers, focusing on rehab, support housing, and careers in recovery. The website targets individuals seeking addiction treatment services within the UK and operates as a service provider network. The business is relatively young, founded around 2019, and maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and relevant content. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Astra theme, integrating Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration aligns with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

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

11 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 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
    • 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 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

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 addiction treatment and recovery services in the UK. It leverages a network model representing multiple independent rehab centers. The website serves as an information and recruitment platform, with a focus on careers in recovery. Social media integration across major platforms supports outreach and engagement. The business model appears service-oriented with potential revenue from referrals or partnerships. The market position is niche within UK addiction treatment. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could improve DNS security, and does not implement common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No published security policy or incident response contacts are found, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and improve user trust.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update plugins/themes to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor page builder and Astra theme, indicating a flexible and widely supported infrastructure. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile responsive. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting appears to be via a provider associated with domaincontrol.com name servers, likely GoDaddy. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security configurations and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
