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. 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Due to the CAPTCHA challenge blocking access to actual site content, no direct business information, market positioning, or revenue model details are available. The domain name suggests a possible non-profit or community organization related to 'First Steps Bath', but no explicit business data or contact details are present. The site appears to rely on third-party security services (BitNinja) for protection. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The lack of privacy and contact information limits credibility and customer engagement insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture by employing BitNinja's greylist and CAPTCHA challenge to prevent automated malicious traffic. However, the absence of HTTPS enforcement data, security headers, and updated CMS platforms indicates significant security gaps. The WHOIS data failure and domain naming rules violation further raise concerns about domain legitimacy and registry compliance. No incident response or security policy information is available, limiting the assessment of security governance. Overall, the security posture is minimal and requires substantial improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure WHOIS data availability and compliance with registry naming rules.
  2. Upgrade CMS platforms to supported, secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and enforce it site-wide.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.

  3. No contact information, privacy policy, or terms of service found.
  4. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violation error.
  5. Use of outdated CMS references in metadata suggests legacy or placeholder content.
  6. Multiple external Google services used for analytics and CAPTCHA.
  7. No HTTPS or security headers information available from provided data.
  8. Page is likely blocking access to actual site content via CAPTCHA challenge.
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.
