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

Claytons & The Glasshouse is a small hospitality business based in Barnstaple, UK, offering premium lounge bar services, a glasshouse restaurant, and rooftop terrace dining. The website reflects a mature business with a domain registered since 2003, presenting a professional and consistent brand image. The site uses WordPress with the Divi theme and integrates common analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook SDK. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features such as a privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism. No forms are present on the homepage, but booking links direct users to reservation pages. Overall, the site is safe, well-structured, and targets general audiences seeking dining and lounge experiences.

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

9 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"

  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

    • 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

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 business operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on food and beverage services including restaurant dining, cocktail lounge, and event bookings. Its market position is local premium, targeting residents and visitors in Barnstaple. Revenue streams likely include dine-in services, event bookings, and gift voucher sales through a partner domain. The company maintains a Facebook presence and partners with an external voucher service. The website content and domain age support a credible and established operation with consistent branding and clear contact information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts, which is positive. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no privacy policy or cookie consent banner, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Overall security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better compliance and security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and implement a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for better user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and modern CMS platform. It uses jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook SDK for marketing and analytics. The site loads CSS and JS asynchronously to improve performance, which is moderate but could be optimized further. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by Yoast SEO structured data. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable UK hosting provider. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security headers and privacy compliance features are missing, representing modernization opportunities.
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.
