FENCA is a UK-based consultancy specializing in financial regulatory compliance, particularly in cross-border payments, microcredit, and regulatory consulting. The company leverages decades of regulatory experience to assist businesses in navigating complex financial regulations. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with clear navigation and contact information. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is hosted with a reputable provider, featuring HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

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

FENCA positions itself as a niche expert in financial regulatory consulting, targeting businesses requiring compliance assistance in financial services. The business model is consultancy-based, with key services including cross-border payments, microcredit, and regulatory advisory. The company has a long domain history consistent with its claimed experience. Social media presence and clear contact details support its market positioning. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, supporting business credibility and client trust.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS and domain registration locks, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is moderate, reflecting a need for incremental improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and several Jet plugins, indicating a modern and flexible CMS platform. It uses Google Fonts and jQuery libraries, with assets served from the same domain, suggesting controlled hosting. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses GoDaddy as registrar and hosting provider, with domain locks enabled but lacks DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
