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

Franklyn Nevard Associates Ltd is a small, well-established architectural firm based in the UK, with over 40 years of experience providing residential and commercial architectural services primarily in Ealing and Suffolk. The company offers a broad range of services including dimensional surveys, layout designs, building regulation approvals, and interior design. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and company registration details, supporting its credibility in the market. Technically, the website is built on the itseeze platform, uses Google Fonts, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager with privacy-conscious consent settings. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and suitable for general audiences seeking architectural services.

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

4 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 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 positions itself as a local architectural expert with a long-standing presence since 1982, targeting residential and commercial clients in the UK. Its business model focuses on personalized architectural solutions with a strong emphasis on bespoke service and free consultations. The presence of a company registration number and multiple physical addresses indicates a legitimate business operation. The website's partnership with itseeze for web hosting and design suggests a reliance on specialized local service providers. The lack of social media presence and limited digital marketing tools indicates a traditional business approach with potential growth opportunities in digital engagement. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its extensive experience and tailored services, appealing to clients seeking trusted architectural expertise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that denies tracking by default, reflecting GDPR compliance awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of third-party analytics is privacy-conscious but should be regularly audited. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. To enhance security posture, the company should implement recommended HTTP security headers, publish incident response contacts, and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy to foster trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response or security contact page to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  3. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the itseeze CMS platform, utilizing Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design scripts to ensure mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. However, the site lacks advanced technical frameworks or platforms and does not expose hosting provider details. There is no evidence of modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Technical debt appears low but opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
