Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.egressgroup.co.uk is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) block, specifically an error 1014 indicating a CNAME Cross-User Banned issue. This error suggests a DNS misconfiguration where the domain's CNAME record is improperly shared across Cloudflare accounts, violating Cloudflare's security policies. Consequently, no actual website content is available for review, and the domain WHOIS lookup failed due to the domain name being invalid under Nominet UK naming rules. This lack of accessible content and domain legitimacy severely limits the ability to assess the business, technical infrastructure, or security posture comprehensively. Technically, the site is hosted behind Cloudflare, but the misconfiguration prevents normal access. No metadata, structured data, or business information is present. Security headers, privacy policies, cookie banners, and contact information are absent. The only external domains referenced are Cloudflare-related, indicating reliance on Cloudflare services. The site does not expose any forms or collect user data in its current state. From a security perspective, the primary concern is the DNS and hosting misconfiguration causing the WAF block. Without access to the actual site, it is impossible to evaluate SSL configuration, security best practices, or compliance with privacy regulations. The domain's invalid registration status further undermines trust and legitimacy. Overall, the site is currently non-functional and untrustworthy due to domain registration issues and Cloudflare blocking. Strategic remediation should focus on correcting DNS settings, ensuring valid domain registration, and establishing a properly configured, accessible website with clear privacy and security policies.

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.

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

Due to the lack of accessible website content and absence of WHOIS data, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain appears invalid and is blocked by Cloudflare, preventing any assessment of market positioning, business model, or partnerships. No contact or company information is available to infer revenue streams or customer segments. The presence of Cloudflare indicates an intent to use a reputable CDN and security provider, but misconfiguration negates these benefits. No evidence of growth indicators or strategic partnerships is visible.

Security posture

The security posture is currently poor due to the DNS misconfiguration causing Cloudflare to block access with error 1014. No security headers or SSL details are available for review. The absence of privacy policies, cookie consent, and incident response contacts indicates compliance gaps. The domain's invalid registration status raises concerns about legitimacy and potential abuse. Without access to the site, it is impossible to verify vulnerability management or data protection practices. Immediate remediation is required to resolve DNS issues and establish a secure, compliant web presence.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve DNS CNAME configuration to comply with Cloudflare's policies and remove cross-account CNAME conflicts.
  2. Register a valid domain name compliant with Nominet UK naming rules to ensure legitimacy and WHOIS transparency.
  3. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.).
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  5. Add clear contact information including security incident response contacts and business details to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare but is currently inaccessible due to a DNS misconfiguration triggering Cloudflare's error 1014. No CMS or frameworks are detectable. The site lacks metadata, structured data, or SEO elements. Performance and accessibility cannot be assessed due to blocked content. The only detectable technology is Cloudflare's CDN and security services. The site does not present any forms or interactive elements. The domain is invalid per registry rules, indicating technical and administrative mismanagement. Remediation requires DNS correction, domain registration validation, and deployment of a functional website with modern web standards.
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.
