GF Electrical is a well-established electrical contracting company based in Dorset, UK, with a domain age dating back to 2004. The company offers a broad range of electrical services including commercial, industrial, residential electrical work, fire alarms, emergency lighting, and EV charging solutions. Their market position is strong within the South of England, supported by long-term client relationships and multiple industry accreditations such as ECA, BAFE, NICEIC, and SafeContractor. The website reflects a professional business model focused on service delivery to domestic, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins and tools such as WPBakery Page Builder, Gravity Forms, and integrates analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Smartlook, and Tawk.to live chat. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Hosting and domain registration are managed via Cloudflare, providing a reliable infrastructure.
From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and some security best practices but lacks explicit security headers and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial; a cookie policy with consent mechanism is present, but no privacy policy page was found, representing a compliance gap. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility.
Overall, GF Electrical's website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with room for improvement in privacy policy publication and security header implementation. The risk level is low, but addressing compliance gaps and enhancing security posture would strengthen 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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
Unable to retrieve SSL certificate
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
GF Electrical operates in the energy sector, specifically electrical contracting and safety systems, targeting domestic, commercial, industrial, and local authority clients primarily in Dorset and the South of England. The company benefits from a stable client base with long-term relationships, supported by strong industry certifications and positive client testimonials. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on quality and compliance. The website content and structure support lead generation and client engagement through detailed service descriptions, case studies, and contact options. The use of analytics and marketing tools indicates an active approach to digital marketing and customer insights. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise with a focused regional market presence.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of Cloudflare services. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. The presence of reCAPTCHA scripts and secure form handling via Gravity Forms suggests attention to input security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a privacy policy page, though cookie consent mechanisms are implemented. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
Implement explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WPBakery Page Builder and Gravity Forms for content and form management. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics (Google Analytics, Smartlook), marketing (Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel), and live chat (Tawk.to). Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration is via Cloudflare, indicating potential use of their CDN and security services. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred CSS. There is some technical debt in missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation, which should be addressed to reduce risk and improve 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.
