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

de Novo Solutions is a UK-based digital transformation consultancy specializing in Oracle Cloud ERP, HCM, EPM, and ServiceNow technologies. The company positions itself as an innovator in the experience economy, offering a range of services including cloud implementation, managed services, software testing, and training. Their market presence is supported by strong partnerships with Oracle and ServiceNow, multiple certifications such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials, and a consistent stream of press releases and news updates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and employs modern web technologies, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and GDPR compliance implemented through cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy could be improved, and no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found. Overall, the website reflects a professional, trustworthy, and mature business with a solid digital presence.

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. 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: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

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

      • 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
  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. 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention de-novo-solutions.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for de-novo-solutions.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company targets public sector and commercial clients seeking Oracle Cloud and ServiceNow digital transformation solutions, including education, government, and multi-academy trusts. Their business model revolves around consulting, implementation, managed services, and training. The presence of multiple certifications and partner logos enhances credibility. Recent press releases indicate active growth and engagement in industry events. The company maintains a moderate size and a medium level of digital maturity, leveraging modern CMS and marketing tools. Their partnership ecosystem includes Oracle, ServiceNow, and regional fintech networks, supporting their market positioning as a leading Oracle Cloud consultancy in the UK.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of GDPR cookie compliance plugins. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, some standard security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, which could be enhanced. There is no visible security policy or incident response page, nor a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. The use of third-party tracking scripts is disclosed via cookie consent. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options for better protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, Yoast SEO for optimization, and several plugins for GDPR compliance, performance, and UI enhancements. Hosting appears to be with SiteGround, indicated by the SiteGround Optimizer plugin. The site uses modern fonts loaded from Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit, and JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and caching optimizations. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well maintained, supporting a professional digital presence.
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.
