Geobear UK is a specialized ground engineering company focused on providing fast, non-disruptive solutions for residential and commercial foundation problems caused by subsidence. The company positions itself as a niche expert in subsidence repair across the UK, targeting homeowners and commercial property owners. Their key services include subsidence repair, residential foundation stabilization, and infrastructure ground engineering. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and contact options, supporting their market position. Technically, the website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. Hosting appears to be supported by Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR. Security headers are partially detected or implied, and no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which is common for businesses of this type, and does not raise immediate trust concerns given the professional website presence. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing explicit security headers, continuous monitoring of third-party scripts, and ensuring robust form security to maintain and improve the security 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

3 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 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

Geobear UK operates in the real estate and construction sectors, specializing in subsidence repair and foundation stabilization. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on providing innovative ground engineering solutions. The company targets homeowners and commercial clients in the UK, leveraging a network of related subdomains to segment services. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The absence of public WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, which aligns with industry norms. The company demonstrates strong trust signals through clear contact information, privacy policies, and cookie consent mechanisms, supporting customer confidence and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and use of security-related cookies such as Cloudflare's __cf_bm. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. While some security headers are implied, explicit implementation of headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options should be verified and enhanced. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were detected. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  3. Ensure all web forms have CSRF protection and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS with Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive and accessible design. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, HubSpot Analytics, Lucky Orange, and Cookiebot for consent management. Hosting is likely via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site demonstrates moderate loading performance and good mobile optimization. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party integrations is recommended to mitigate risks. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting user experience and discoverability.
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.
