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

Disappearing Ink is a small UK-based professional laser aesthetics service provider with a domain registered since 2010. The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and UIkit framework, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity. The site integrates Facebook SDK for social media but lacks visible privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which impacts its compliance posture. Security headers are not detected, and no explicit contact information is found in the analyzed content, suggesting areas for improvement in transparency and security. Overall, the business appears legitimate with a stable domain history but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 27 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  4. 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 · 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.

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 operates in the beauty and healthcare sector, focusing on laser aesthetics services. The business model is service-oriented targeting general consumers interested in professional aesthetic treatments. The website content is basic but consistent with a small business profile. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The market position is unclear due to limited content and absence of trust indicators such as certifications or testimonials. The long domain age supports business stability but the lack of detailed business information limits deeper analysis.

Security posture

The security posture is basic with HTTPS implied but no security headers detected in the provided data. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies or incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The use of Facebook SDK introduces tracking but no analytics services were detected. No forms or input fields were found to assess secure data handling. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and mobile optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder and UIkit framework, indicating a standard modern web stack for small businesses. The presence of Facebook SDK suggests social media integration but no advanced analytics or marketing tools were detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit data on loading speed. Mobile optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and structured data markup. Hosting is provided by Heart Internet Limited, a reputable UK hosting provider. Technical debt appears low but improvements in security and compliance are needed.
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.
