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

Connexis Limited is a UK-based telecommunications company specializing in unified VoIP communications, connectivity, and security solutions primarily serving businesses in the Midlands, North West, and Mid Wales regions. The company emphasizes consultative service, technical expertise, and partnerships with leading technology providers. Their website reflects a professional and business-focused approach with comprehensive service offerings and customer testimonials. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates chat widgets and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized and provides clear navigation and contact options. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and secure form handling, though explicit security headers are not detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules violation error, which impacts trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business presence with minor technical and trust-related gaps.

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

5 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

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • 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

  3. 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

Connexis operates as a medium-sized B2B telecommunications provider with over 20 years of experience, focusing on unified communications and connectivity solutions. Their market positioning is strong regionally, supported by partnerships with major technology vendors such as Avaya, Wildix, and Gamma. The business model centers on providing tailored communication and security solutions combined with technical support and aftercare. Revenue streams likely include hardware sales, service contracts, and managed solutions. The company targets SMEs and larger businesses in specific UK regions, leveraging case studies and testimonials to build trust. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processing and web design firms, indicating a collaborative approach to service delivery. Growth indicators include active news updates and apprenticeship programs. Strategic observations suggest a focus on technical excellence and customer service as competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of WHOIS data reduces trust from a domain registration perspective but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery 1.12.4, Bootstrap framework, and third-party chat widgets (Msgboxx and X-Bees) to deliver a responsive and interactive user experience. Google reCAPTCHA v2 is integrated for spam protection on forms. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and CSS media queries. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDNs and scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization of JavaScript libraries and enhanced security configurations.
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.
