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

The Training Box is a UK-based small business specializing in communication skills training and coaching services. Their website presents a professional and well-structured platform focused on delivering personalized communication improvement programs for individuals and organizations. The business operates primarily in the education sector with a niche market position. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and Contact Form 7 plugin, hosted by UKFast. However, the website lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in insecure HTTP access, which significantly impacts its security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact information is clearly provided, including a company email and phone number, alongside a Facebook social media presence. Overall, the site offers good content quality and user experience but requires urgent security and privacy improvements.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

  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 Training Box targets individuals and teams seeking to enhance communication skills through tailored training and coaching. Their modular and flexible delivery options cater to diverse client needs, positioning them as a specialized provider in the communication training niche. The company leverages testimonials and a clear contact framework to build trust. The absence of privacy and security policies may limit appeal to privacy-conscious clients. The business model is service-oriented with potential for growth through expanded digital presence and enhanced compliance. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident, and the company maintains a focused market approach within the UK.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers or advanced TLS protocols are enabled, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further exposes compliance risks under GDPR. While no active vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, the fundamental lack of encryption and security best practices is a critical concern. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and improve trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with the Divi theme and Contact Form 7 plugin, indicating a common and well-supported technology stack. Hosting is provided by UKFast, a reputable UK hosting provider. The site includes jQuery and Google Fonts resources. Performance metrics are missing, but the site appears to have moderate loading characteristics. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured data. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical debt. The site would benefit from performance monitoring and accessibility improvements to enhance overall user experience.
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.
