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

UHY Crossleys LLC is a well-established accounting and advisory firm based in the Isle of Man, founded in 1997. The company specializes in tax, audit, accounting, and business advisory services with a focus on wealth protection for families, the elderly, and vulnerable individuals. Their market position is that of a trusted local and international firm, supported by a director-led approach and membership in the UHY International network. The website reflects a professional and client-focused business model with comprehensive service offerings and clear contact information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Elementor for design and Rank Math and Squirrly for SEO. It includes Google Analytics for tracking and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has no visible exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit security headers, and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a long domain history and no privacy protection, which supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve compliance and security posture by publishing privacy and terms policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers. These steps would enhance user trust and regulatory compliance.

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

6 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

UHY Crossleys LLC operates in the finance sector, targeting clients requiring tax, audit, and wealth protection services, particularly families, elderly, and vulnerable individuals. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized, director-led service and international network affiliation. The business model is service-oriented with revenue likely from professional fees. The company maintains a small size but with a broad service portfolio and a subsidiary focused on forensic accounting. Growth indicators include active SEO and digital presence. Partnerships with UHY International and related forensic services expand their market reach. Strategic observations suggest a focus on trust, confidentiality, and tailored client solutions as key differentiators.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps. No formal security or incident response policies are published, limiting transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism is a positive compliance indicator. Lack of vulnerability disclosure and security.txt files suggests limited proactive security communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small professional services firm but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Develop and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder and SEO plugins like Rank Math and Squirrly SEO, indicating good technical infrastructure. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site is mobile responsive and has a moderate performance profile. Some technical debt is indicated by missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. The use of standard libraries like jQuery and Font Awesome is current but should be monitored for vulnerabilities. Overall, the technical implementation supports business needs but could benefit from security and compliance modernization.
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.
