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

Glaciers Edge Maintenance is a landscaping service provider based in Anchorage, Alaska, with a domain registered since 2013. The website presents a professional design built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, targeting residential and commercial property owners in the Anchorage area. The business focuses on landscaping and maintenance services, positioning itself as a local service provider. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is mobile optimized with good SEO foundations. However, the site lacks critical privacy and security documentation such as privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and security headers, which impacts its overall security posture. The domain registration data is consistent and indicates a legitimate business presence. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 8 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  3. 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

  4. 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

    • 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

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 operates in the landscaping sector serving the Anchorage, Alaska market. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on maintenance and landscaping solutions. The website content is relevant and targeted, but lacks detailed business information such as contact emails, phone numbers, or physical addresses. There are no visible partnerships or certifications displayed. The company appears to be a small-sized local business with a decade-long online presence. The lack of privacy and security policies may affect customer trust and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. The site uses Yoast SEO to improve search visibility, indicating some digital marketing awareness.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. The hosting provider is GoDaddy.com, LLC, consistent with the domain registrar. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. No analytics or tracking scripts were found in the provided HTML snippet, suggesting minimal user tracking. The site lacks advanced security configurations and could benefit from performance and security enhancements.
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.
