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

Fire Security (Sprinkler Installations) Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in fire sprinkler system installation, maintenance, and related services. Established in 1972, the company serves a diverse range of industries including automotive, pharmaceutical, and retail, with a strong reputation supported by major clients and accreditations to recognized fire safety standards. The website presents a professional image with clear service offerings and contact information, targeting business owners, contractors, and landlords seeking fire protection solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common frameworks like Bootstrap and UIkit, with SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and an insecure external script introduces security risks. The security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules, indicating the domain is a subdomain or alias, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and credible but requires technical and security improvements to enhance compliance and risk posture.

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

7 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. 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';…

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 company holds a solid market position as a specialized fire sprinkler installation and maintenance provider with a long operational history. Its business model focuses on comprehensive fire protection services including design, installation, servicing, and emergency response. The client base spans multiple sectors, indicating diversified revenue streams and resilience. The website supports business credibility through accreditations and client references but lacks detailed financial or corporate structure disclosures. The partnership with Logic Design for website development suggests professional digital presence management. Growth indicators include recent recruitment news and active social media engagement. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is unusual but does not directly impact operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form validation. However, the presence of an outdated jQuery library and an external script loaded over HTTP are significant vulnerabilities that could be exploited for cross-site scripting or malware injection. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicate gaps in security best practices and privacy compliance. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency. The website should prioritize updating dependencies, securing all external resources, and implementing comprehensive security headers and privacy controls to mitigate risks and align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Remove or secure the external HTTP script (redd7liod.com) to prevent mixed content issues and potential malicious code injection.
  3. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  5. Clarify domain registration status or consider registering a primary domain to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.1.22 with a combination of Bootstrap and UIkit frameworks, providing a responsive and structured design. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and Google Analytics is used for traffic monitoring. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts and social media widgets. Performance is moderate with no major blocking issues detected. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and an insecure external script introduces technical debt and security risks. Accessibility features are basic, and there is room for improvement in compliance with modern web standards and privacy regulations. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
