Security score

46/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website 'finchley nurseries' appears to be a minimal landing page primarily serving as an affiliate or redirect portal for garden-related searches in the Finchley area. It lacks substantive business information, direct contact details, or official branding. The technical infrastructure is basic, relying on standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with third-party tracking scripts from intivesearch.com and appreports.net. The site is served over HTTP without HTTPS, which is a significant security concern. No security headers or advanced security measures are implemented, and no forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms are present. Privacy and terms pages exist but are basic and do not indicate GDPR compliance or cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site’s legitimacy is questionable due to the absence of WHOIS registration data and minimal content, suggesting it may be a parked or placeholder domain rather than an active business website.

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

8 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

  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
  • 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 site targets local gardeners and plant buyers in Finchley, offering links to related searches such as plant nurseries, garden supplies, and consultation services. However, it does not present direct business operations, revenue models, or partnerships. The presence of affiliate marketing links indicates a revenue stream based on referral traffic rather than direct sales. There is no evidence of a formal partnership ecosystem or growth indicators. The business model appears to be low engagement and low trust, relying on search traffic monetization.

Security posture

The security posture is weak, with no HTTPS encryption, no security headers, and extensive use of third-party tracking scripts that perform fingerprinting and user behavior monitoring. There is no visible incident response or security policy information. The lack of secure transport and minimal security best practices expose users to potential risks such as data interception and tracking without consent. Compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations is not evident, increasing regulatory risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve security posture.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  4. Enhance website content with clear business information, contact details, and branding to improve credibility.
  5. Reduce reliance on third-party tracking scripts or ensure transparency and user consent for data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic web technologies without a CMS or advanced frameworks. It loads external JavaScript for tracking and affiliate marketing purposes. The site is mobile responsive with basic CSS styling but lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate but could be improved by reducing third-party scripts. The absence of HTTPS and security headers is a critical technical deficiency. There is no evidence of modern infrastructure or hosting provider details.
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.
