Medium risk. 8 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS, Security headers and 1 other check.

Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.clarionwines.co.uk is currently inaccessible beyond a security verification page employing Google reCAPTCHA v3, indicating the presence of a Web Application Firewall or bot mitigation system. No actual business content, contact information, or policies are accessible, preventing a full assessment of the company's online presence or services. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to querying the 'www' subdomain, which is invalid for .uk domains, resulting in no registrar or registration data available. Technically, the site uses modern frontend libraries such as Bootstrap and Google reCAPTCHA but lacks visible SEO, accessibility, or security headers. The security posture is limited to bot protection, with no further visible security best practices. Overall, the site scores low on content quality, business credibility, and privacy compliance due to the lack of accessible information and policies.

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

8 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. 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';…

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

Due to the lack of accessible content and business information, no detailed business intelligence can be derived. The domain name suggests a wine-related business, but no descriptions, contact details, or market positioning data are available. The absence of privacy policies, contact forms, or social media links limits insight into the company's operations or customer engagement strategies. The security verification page may indicate a high risk of automated attacks or scraping attempts, but no partnership or subsidiary domains are identified.

Security posture

The security posture is minimal, relying solely on Google reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent automated access. No HTTPS enforcement or security headers are visible in the provided data. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found. The site is effectively locked behind a security challenge, which while protecting against bots, also limits legitimate user access and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses for transparency.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  5. Consider reducing or optimizing WAF/bot protection to allow legitimate user access while maintaining security.

Key observations

  1. Website content is blocked behind a security verification page using Google reCAPTCHA v3.
  2. No actual business content or navigation is accessible.
  3. No contact information, policies, or business details are present in the HTML content.
  4. WHOIS lookup failed due to querying 'www.clarionwines.co.uk' instead of 'clarionwines.co.uk'.
  5. External resources are limited to CDN and Google reCAPTCHA domains.
  6. No visible SSL/TLS or security headers information available from provided data.
  7. Website is likely protected by a WAF or bot mitigation service.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for styling and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. No CMS or backend technologies are identifiable from the HTML content. The site is currently inaccessible beyond the security verification page, preventing assessment of performance, SEO, or accessibility beyond basic mobile responsiveness. External resources are loaded from trusted CDNs and Google domains. The lack of visible security headers and HTTPS enforcement is a technical risk. The domain WHOIS query was invalid due to querying the 'www' subdomain, resulting in no registration data. Overall, the technical infrastructure appears minimal and focused on bot protection rather than full content delivery.
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.
