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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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 commercial flooring sector serving multiple sectors including real estate, hospitality, and non-profit organizations. Their business model is B2B, focusing on end-to-end flooring solutions. The company leverages decades of industry expertise and a team of former fitters to provide tailored solutions. Their growth is indicated by recent news articles about management buyouts and key promotions. The company maintains active social media profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn, enhancing their market presence. The website content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement through contact forms and clear service descriptions. No direct revenue streams like e-commerce are present, indicating a service-based revenue model. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses anti-spam and bot detection plugins, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting and incident management.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Tailwind CSS for styling and Alpine.js for interactivity, indicating a contemporary front-end approach. Integration with Google Tag Manager and analytics services shows a mature digital marketing setup. Hosting via WPEngine suggests reliable performance infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
