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

Global Financial Solution is a UK-based financial services provider specializing in taxation, payroll, and consulting services for individuals and businesses. With over 17 years of experience, the company positions itself as a trusted partner offering tailored financial management solutions to ensure compliance and operational efficiency. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting its audience effectively. Technically, the website is built using modern technologies including the Hostinger Website Builder and Astro framework, hosted on Hostinger's platform. It employs Google Fonts and Amplitude Analytics for user tracking and performance insights. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers and explicit security policies. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Contact information is available, but no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve trust and regulatory adherence. The domain registration data supports the legitimacy of the business with consistent age and registration details.

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
    • 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"

  3. 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 finance sector, focusing on tax compliance, payroll management, and business consulting. Its business model is service-oriented, targeting small to medium-sized enterprises and individual clients in the UK. The firm leverages its long-standing market presence as a competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting fees, payroll services, and tax advisory. The website's integration with social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram suggests active engagement with clients and marketing efforts. However, the absence of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which may hinder effective handling of security incidents. The use of third-party analytics (Amplitude) introduces potential privacy considerations. The lack of privacy and cookie policies is a significant compliance gap, especially under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack using Hostinger Website Builder and Astro framework, which supports fast rendering and modular components. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Amplitude Analytics is integrated for user behavior tracking. Hosting on Hostinger provides reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing images and scripts. The absence of advanced accessibility features and security headers indicates areas for technical enhancement. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD).
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.
