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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

David Lloyd Clubs operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on fitness and wellness. The business model is membership-based, generating revenue through club memberships and ancillary services. The company targets health-conscious consumers and families seeking premium leisure experiences. The website's extensive use of analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement and retention. The presence of multiple social media channels and comprehensive contact information supports strong customer relations. While WHOIS data for the queried subdomain is unavailable, the main domain and branding strongly support legitimacy. The company appears to maintain a consistent and professional online presence, supporting its market leadership in Europe.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and implements a Content Security Policy to mitigate cross-site scripting risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No public security policy or incident response information is available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and advertising, which should be regularly audited to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation are in place.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React and Gatsby, enabling fast performance and good SEO. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Amplitude, Hotjar, and Qualtrics, indicating a mature data collection and user behavior analysis strategy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No major technical debt or performance bottlenecks were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but the use of CDN and monitoring tools suggests a robust infrastructure. Opportunities exist to further improve security headers and formalize security documentation.
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.
