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

Office Watercoolers is a UK-based company specializing in providing and servicing high quality bottled water and mains fed dispensers nationwide. With over 25 years of industry experience and established since 2001, it operates as part of the South Staffordshire Plc group, which includes multiple subsidiaries in water supply and related services. The company targets business customers seeking reliable hydration solutions for offices and commercial environments. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Yoast SEO, and employs Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, though security headers and explicit incident response policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the professional presentation and corporate group affiliation mitigate concerns. Overall, the website is functional, secure, and compliant with basic privacy standards, but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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

  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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 holds a strong market position in the UK water cooler industry, leveraging its affiliation with South Staffordshire Plc to enhance credibility and operational scale. Its business model focuses on B2B sales and services, including installation, maintenance, and delivery of water coolers and related products. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation and product segmentation. The partnership ecosystem is robust, with multiple related domains representing subsidiaries and complementary service providers. Growth indicators include nationwide service coverage and a diversified product range. Revenue streams likely derive from product sales, service contracts, and maintenance agreements. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance direct contact availability and publish detailed compliance and security policies to strengthen customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to high security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms against spam and bots. The cookie consent banner is comprehensive, categorizing cookies and allowing user customization, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, limiting transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, incident contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing Gravity Forms for form handling, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Google Tag Manager for analytics integration. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with use of CDN for cookie consent scripts and asynchronous loading of JavaScript. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit hosting provider identification. The site structure and metadata are well-formed, supporting SEO and social media sharing through Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data.
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.
