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

GVE Commercial Solutions is a small professional services firm specializing in quantity surveying and commercial solutions primarily serving clients in London and the South East of England. Their key offerings include NEC contracts management, dispute resolution, programming, and training services. The website is built on the Wix platform, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity with standard web technologies and moderate performance. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional presentation of the website. Overall, the business appears credible but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

7 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';…

  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

    • 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

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 targets construction and commercial clients requiring quantity surveying and contract management services. Their market position is regional with a focus on NEC contracts and dispute resolution, suggesting a niche specialization. The business model is service-oriented with revenue likely derived from consulting and training engagements. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. The website content is relevant and professionally presented but lacks trust signals such as certifications or client testimonials. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security that help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors is a significant concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security maturity is basic with room for improvement in compliance and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Publish clear contact information including security incident contacts to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix and uses Wix's standard JavaScript and CSS assets. The technology stack is modern but limited to Wix's platform capabilities. Performance is moderate with no significant optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is good due to Wix's responsive design templates. Accessibility is basic with minimal ARIA or advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced SEO schema beyond basic WebSite JSON-LD. No third-party analytics or marketing tools were detected, indicating minimal tracking. The site lacks forms or interactive data collection elements.
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.
