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

Falfish Limited is a well-established wholesale seafood supplier based in Cornwall, UK, founded in 1979. The company specializes in supplying sustainably sourced fresh and frozen fish and shellfish, primarily serving wholesale buyers and businesses in the food supply chain. Their market position is strong within the South West UK region, supported by long-term relationships with local fishing fleets and a commitment to sustainability. The website reflects a professional business presence with clear branding and relevant content focused on their seafood offerings and sustainability initiatives. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages common industry tools such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and FullPage.js to enhance user experience. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, some technical improvements could be made, such as enabling DNSSEC and implementing security headers to enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, indicating a reasonable baseline security posture. However, there is no visible security policy, incident response information, or cookie consent mechanism, which are important for compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The WHOIS data confirms a consistent and legitimate domain registration history, supporting the business's credibility. Overall, Falfish presents as a credible and professional business with a solid digital presence but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency to better align with modern standards and regulations.

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. 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"

    • 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';…

  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

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

Falfish operates in the wholesale seafood supply sector with a focus on sustainably sourced products from Cornwall and the South West UK. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing relationships with local fishing fleets and commitment to sustainability projects. The business model centers on supplying chilled and frozen fish species to wholesale buyers, likely including retailers and food service providers. The company targets regional and possibly national markets, leveraging their expertise and local sourcing. Growth indicators include recent expansion projects mentioned in news sections. The partnership ecosystem includes local fishing fleets and marketing agencies. The company maintains a professional online presence with active social media channels, supporting brand visibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR compliance statements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security culture appears basic but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, FlexSlider, FullPage.js, and Yoast SEO plugin for SEO optimization. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Accessibility features are present but could be improved. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are important technical controls. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
