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

GMIS is a UK-based mortgage and protection specialist offering a wide range of mortgage and insurance advisory services tailored to various customer needs including first-time buyers, remortgaging, and buy-to-let. The company positions itself as a trusted advisor with over 10 years of experience, focusing on customer-centric, no-obligation advice and convenient appointment options. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers present, alongside a GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms. However, no explicit security or incident response policies are published, and WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which is unusual but does not appear to impact the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and secure, with room for improvement in transparency around security policies and contact information.

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.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  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
    • 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

GMIS operates in the finance sector as a mortgage brokerage and insurance advisory service targeting UK residents seeking mortgage and protection products. The business model revolves around providing expert advice and sourcing suitable mortgage and insurance products from a broad panel of lenders and insurers. The company emphasizes customer service, convenience, and no-obligation consultations, which are competitive advantages in the mortgage advisory market. The presence of testimonials and detailed process explanations enhance trust and credibility. The website content and structure support a small-sized business with a focused service offering. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Google Analytics and maintains GDPR compliance, indicating a mature approach to data privacy and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness visibility. No contact channels for security incidents or data protection officers were found. The WHOIS data failure is a concern but likely a technical or query issue rather than a malicious indicator. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to comply with GDPR best practices.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site loads CSS and JS resources efficiently with deferred loading for some stylesheets. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure with dropdown menus and mobile menu toggles. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking resources detected. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and structured data is not explicitly found in the provided HTML. No hosting provider information was extracted. The WHOIS lookup failure suggests a possible query error or domain registration anomaly but does not affect site functionality. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with opportunities for enhanced structured data and accessibility improvements.
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.
