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

2 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

  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 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

Dignity Funeral Directors holds a strong market position as one of the UK's leading funeral service providers, supported by its parent company Dignity PLC. The business model focuses on providing funeral services and prepaid plans through both physical branches and online platforms. Revenue streams likely include funeral arrangements, prepaid plans, and ancillary services such as memorials and legal services. The target audience is UK residents planning funerals or seeking prepaid plans. The company leverages partnerships with crematoria and funeral homes, and maintains a professional online presence with customer testimonials and industry accreditations. Growth indicators include a comprehensive digital presence and integration of modern marketing and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and use of reputable third-party analytics and tracking services. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests limited formal channels for security reporting. Overall, the site is secure for users but could enhance transparency and defense-in-depth measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by publishing a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the homepage.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and utilizes a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Visual Website Optimizer, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site loads asynchronously loaded JavaScript libraries and uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, with font size controls and responsive design. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta tags. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Performance is moderate with some heavy scripts but overall good user experience. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and explicit privacy documentation could be improved.
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.
