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

CLP Safety & Training Ltd is a UK-based health and safety consultancy firm established since 1995, specializing in supporting SMEs across diverse industries such as construction, retail, leisure, and engineering. The company offers tailored consultancy services including regulatory compliance, SSIP accreditation support, and assistance with Pre-Qualification Questionnaires, positioning itself as an experienced and trusted partner with long-term client relationships. The website reflects a professional business model focused on consultancy and training services for small and medium enterprises. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.7 using the Flatsome theme and Contact Form 7 plugin, with Google Fonts integration. The site is hosted likely by 20i Ltd, a UK-based hosting and registrar provider. The website demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. No advanced analytics or tracking tools are detected, indicating a minimal user tracking approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and standard WordPress security practices but lacks visible security headers and formal security or incident response policies. There are no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact information is clearly provided, but no dedicated security contact channels or certifications are presented. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and credible with a moderate security posture and some compliance shortcomings. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response documentation would enhance trust and security maturity.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

CLP Safety & Training Ltd operates in a niche consultancy market focusing on health and safety compliance for SMEs in the UK. Their competitive advantage lies in long-standing client relationships and expertise across multiple sectors including construction and retail. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through consultancy and training engagements. The target customer segment is small and medium enterprises requiring tailored health and safety solutions. Growth indicators include over two decades of operation and sustained client retention. The company does not publicly disclose partnerships or subsidiaries on the website. The digital presence is professional but lacks advanced marketing or analytics integrations, suggesting a focus on direct client engagement rather than broad digital marketing. Strategic observations include the need to enhance digital compliance and security transparency to align with evolving regulatory expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable WordPress plugins. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, limiting readiness for security events. Data protection practices are minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the business to GDPR compliance risks. The contact form is implemented via Contact Form 7, a widely used plugin, but no explicit anti-spam or input validation details are evident. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls to protect client data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve technical security posture.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Introduce cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using version 6.7, with the Flatsome theme and Contact Form 7 plugin for form handling. Google Web Fonts are used for typography, and jQuery is referenced though commented out. The site loads resources over HTTPS, indicating good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with caching and minified CSS/JS assets present. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic, with skip links and semantic HTML present but no advanced ARIA roles detected. SEO optimization is basic, with meta viewport and canonical tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags found. The technical stack is standard for small business websites but could benefit from enhanced security headers and SEO structured data for improved performance and compliance.
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.
