EA Financial Solutions Limited is a UK-based independent financial advisory firm established in 2003, providing wealth management, financial planning, retirement planning, company pensions, and protection services. The company is FCA authorised and regulated, targeting UK consumers seeking trusted financial advice. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand with clear service offerings and client testimonials, reinforcing their market position as a reputable small financial advisory business.
Technically, the website uses a custom CMS with common web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security is well implemented with HTTPS, captcha on forms, and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response information are absent.
The security posture is solid with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but improvements are recommended in publishing security policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Overall, the website is professional, secure, and trustworthy with minor technical and security enhancements recommended to further strengthen compliance and user trust.

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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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
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"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
EA Financial Solutions Limited operates in the UK financial advisory sector, focusing on individual and corporate clients. Their competitive advantage lies in FCA regulation, a long-standing market presence since 2003, and a comprehensive service portfolio including wealth management and pensions. Revenue streams likely derive from advisory fees and financial planning services. The company targets UK consumers seeking transparent and knowledgeable financial advice. The website indicates a small-sized business with a localized focus in Hertfordshire and London. The firm maintains a professional online presence with client testimonials and regulatory references, supporting credibility and client trust. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and captcha protection on forms, reducing risk of automated abuse. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating good data protection practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving HTTP header configurations.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a custom CMS platform with integration of jQuery and bxSlider for UI components. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and enhanced security headers to reduce risk exposure.
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.
