59/100

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

The website www.cteg.org.uk is currently inaccessible due to an invalid SSL certificate on the origin server, as indicated by the Cloudflare error 526 page. The domain WHOIS lookup failed with an error from Nominet UK stating that the domain cannot be registered because it violates naming rules, suggesting the domain is not legitimately registered or active. No business, contact, or policy information is available on the site, and the content is limited to a technical error message. The technical infrastructure relies on Cloudflare as a proxy, but the origin server is misconfigured with respect to SSL, preventing secure access. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, exposing it to trust and confidentiality issues. No security headers or best practices are observed, and no incident response or data protection information is provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates poor compliance with data protection regulations. The overall security posture is weak, and the domain legitimacy is questionable due to WHOIS data unavailability and registrar error. Given the blocked content and lack of accessible information, the risk assessment is high. The site cannot be reliably analyzed for business credibility or compliance. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL certificate installation, domain registration validation, and implementation of standard security and privacy policies to restore trust and accessibility.

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

7 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. 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

  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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 absence of business information on the website, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain appears unregistered or invalid, and no company name, services, or market positioning details are available. There are no indications of partnerships, subsidiaries, or revenue models. The site does not provide any contact or operational data to assess its business model or competitive advantages.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently poor. The invalid SSL certificate prevents secure HTTPS connections, which is a critical security failure. No security headers or best practices are implemented, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response mechanisms are evident. The domain registration issues further undermine trust. The site lacks GDPR compliance indicators and does not provide any data protection or security policy information. Overall, the site is vulnerable to interception and trust issues, and it is not prepared to handle security incidents or protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL certificate on the origin server to enable secure HTTPS access.
  2. Resolve domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure the domain is valid and properly registered.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  4. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish contact information and incident response channels to enhance security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is served behind Cloudflare, which is functioning correctly as a proxy. However, the origin server is misconfigured with an invalid SSL certificate, causing Cloudflare to block access with error 526. The HTML content is minimal and consists solely of the Cloudflare error page. No CMS, analytics, or third-party scripts are detected. The site lacks meta tags beyond basic charset and viewport settings. There is no evidence of mobile optimization or accessibility features. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to registration errors, indicating potential technical or administrative issues with domain management.
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.
