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

Green Row is a UK-based PR and social media agency specializing in lifestyle, food and drink, and health and wellness sectors. Established in 2005, the agency offers tailored communications campaigns and media relations services, positioning itself as a tenacious and hands-on partner for businesses seeking to enhance their reputation. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and client testimonials, targeting businesses in need of expert PR support. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and MonsterInsights for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business profile, with a long-standing domain age matching the company's founding year. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes basic best practices such as Google Analytics opt-out functionality. However, it lacks security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a notable gap given the use of tracking technologies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

8 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"

    • 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';…

  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

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

Green Row operates in the competitive PR agency market with a focus on niche sectors like lifestyle and health. Its business model centers on providing senior-level communications expertise and bespoke campaigns. The company leverages media relations as a key competitive advantage and maintains a client-centric approach evidenced by testimonials. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site suggests a small-sized agency. The social media presence on major platforms supports brand visibility. Growth indicators include recent blog posts and active news updates. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The security posture of Green Row's website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. The site uses reputable plugins and scripts but lacks HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is insufficient, with no GDPR-related disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the site is functional and secure for general use but requires improvements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security.
  3. Create a security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. It uses Jetpack for additional functionality and Swiper.js for carousel displays. The site loads resources from trusted domains such as WordPress.com and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. The domain is hosted by Easy Internet Solutions Ltd, consistent with the registrar information. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
