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

Fairmitre (Shropshire) Windows & Conservatories Ltd is a well-established family-owned business operating since 1982, specializing in manufacturing and installing high-quality conservatories, orangeries, windows, and doors primarily serving the Shropshire region. The company emphasizes personalized service, competitive pricing, and maintains a showroom for customer visits. Their market position is that of a trusted local provider with certifications that enhance credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, and includes SEO optimization via Yoast. It employs Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and security respectively. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience, though some accessibility features could be improved. From a security standpoint, the site uses HTTPS and reCAPTCHA but lacks important security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for compliance and security posture enhancement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to an invalid domain name error, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy but does not directly impact the website's operational legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy business front with minor technical and compliance gaps. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and domain registration verification are recommended to strengthen trust and security.

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

9 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Fairmitre operates in the home improvement sector focusing on windows, doors, conservatories, and orangeries. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing local presence, family ownership, and certifications such as BWF and FENSA. The business model is direct manufacturing and installation, targeting residential customers in Shropshire. The company leverages a showroom and digital presence including social media to engage customers. Growth indicators include a comprehensive website and active social media channels. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests an area for operational maturity improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt file and incident response contact information indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is incomplete due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern front-end technologies including Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js, providing a responsive and visually appealing design. SEO is enhanced via Yoast plugin, and images are optimized with WP Smush. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, while Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. The site lacks some security headers which are recommended for modern web security. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could be improved with enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
