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

2 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 15 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Glowarm operates as a local service provider in the energy sector, focusing on central heating solutions in South London. Its business model revolves around direct service delivery to homeowners and landlords, with revenue streams from installations, repairs, servicing, and maintenance contracts. The company leverages partnerships with trusted trade organizations and local directories to build credibility. The website's integration with ecommerce and marketing tools indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. Growth potential lies in expanding service areas and enhancing online engagement. The absence of detailed corporate data suggests a small business scale with a focus on personalized customer service.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of captchas to mitigate automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could impact readiness and transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small service business but would benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy and terms of service policies on the website to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to minimize security 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.
