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

Electric Orange is a specialist home cinema, audio, and smart home installation company serving Liverpool, Wirral, Cheshire, and the Northwest of England. The company offers bespoke design and installation services including home cinema rooms, multi-room audio systems, intelligent lighting, and media walls. They hold industry certifications and awards, positioning themselves as a trusted regional provider with over 15 years of experience. The website is built on Squarespace, featuring professional design, clear navigation, and mobile responsiveness. Technical infrastructure includes standard web technologies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, though additional security headers and policies could enhance protection. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a registration error, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and business information appear credible and professional. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of business credibility and technical implementation with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best 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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Electric Orange operates in the technology sector, focusing on high-end home technology installations. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting homeowners and professionals such as architects and interior designers. The company leverages industry memberships and awards to build trust and differentiate from competitors. Their market position is that of a small, specialized provider with a strong regional presence. Revenue streams likely come from bespoke installation projects and consultations. The company maintains an active social media presence and uses digital marketing tools to engage customers. Strategic partnerships include membership in the Home Cinema Alliance. Growth indicators include recent awards and a professional online presence. The company emphasizes quality, customization, and customer education in their operations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating basic compliance with security and privacy standards. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party analytics and social media integrations introduces moderate tracking but is standard for business websites. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a small business but could benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and resolve domain registration inconsistencies to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update CMS and third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web standards and responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads a variety of JavaScript libraries and CSS assets from Squarespace CDN and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical infrastructure is typical for a small business website using a managed CMS platform, offering ease of maintenance but limited customization for advanced security or performance tuning.
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.
