Deepdale Camping & Rooms is a small hospitality business located on Deepdale Farm, Burnham Deepdale, North Norfolk Coast, England. The company offers camping, private rooms, glamping, group accommodation, and a visitor information centre.

The website is designed with modern technologies such as Bootstrap and Font Awesome, and integrates third-party services including Microsoft Clarity for analytics and social media widgets for engagement. While the site is accessible and well-structured with good SEO practices, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score.

Overall, the website reflects a credible and professional small business with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

9 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.

    • 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

  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. 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"

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

The business targets campers, glampers, groups, and visitors to the North Norfolk Coast, leveraging its award-winning status to attract clientele. Its business model focuses on hospitality and accommodation services, including camping and group stays. The company has maintained its domain since 2008, supporting its established presence. The website integrates marketing tools such as TripAdvisor widgets and social media channels to enhance customer engagement. However, the absence of detailed contact information and privacy policies suggests potential gaps in customer support and regulatory compliance. The business appears to operate independently without visible parent or subsidiary companies, focusing on local tourism.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications, but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No incident response or security policy pages are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No forms were detected in the provided HTML snippet, limiting assessment of input security. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and incident response.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates analytics and marketing tools including Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Ads, and TripAdvisor widgets. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable UK-based registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced with ARIA roles and semantic HTML. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of security headers.
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.
