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

Ginseng Tang Ltd operates the Ginseng Tang Acupuncture Clinic, a small healthcare business specializing in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine services in the West Midlands, UK. The clinic has a strong local presence with over 20 years of establishment and offers a variety of treatments including pain relief, emotional health support, and herbal remedies. The website reflects a professional service with clear business information, customer testimonials, and recognized certifications from reputable acupuncture organizations. Technically, the website is built on the Weebly/EditMySite platform using common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics. It includes integrated booking and social media widgets enhancing user engagement. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not negate the legitimacy suggested by the website content. Overall, the site is well-structured, user-friendly, and trustworthy for its target audience.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  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 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

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 business targets individuals seeking alternative healthcare therapies, particularly acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing reputation, certified practitioners, and comprehensive treatment offerings. Revenue is likely generated through direct service bookings facilitated by an online scheduler. The company maintains an active social media presence and leverages customer reviews to build trust. The absence of detailed corporate data and WHOIS transparency suggests a small privately held entity focused on local clientele rather than large-scale expansion. Strategic partnerships with recognized acupuncture bodies enhance credibility. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on personalized patient care.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts and marketing tools introduces potential risk vectors that require regular monitoring and updates. Privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks under GDPR. Incident response and security policy information are not provided, indicating limited formal security governance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and enhance user trust.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve website security posture.
  3. Regularly update all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature but somewhat dated technology stack centered around the Weebly/EditMySite CMS platform. It uses jQuery 1.8.3, which is an older version and may have known vulnerabilities; updating to a newer version is advisable. Integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager supports marketing analytics but requires privacy considerations. The site performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and clear navigation. The presence of multiple third-party widgets (Trustpilot, Schedulista, Twitter) enriches functionality but increases the attack surface. No advanced frameworks or hosting details were identified. Technical debt is moderate due to older libraries and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations to reduce operational risks.
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.
