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

GVAV Ltd is a UK-based leading audio visual solutions provider with over 50 years of experience, specializing in AV design, product supply, and control system programming. The company targets corporate, educational, healthcare, and government sectors, positioning itself as a trusted AV integrator with a strong portfolio of case studies and certifications such as ISO27001. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and mobile optimization. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CSRF protections but lacks explicit security headers, suggesting room for improvement. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency. Overall, GVAV presents a credible business front with minor technical and security enhancements recommended.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

GVAV operates primarily in the technology sector, focusing on AV integration services for diverse sectors including education, corporate, healthcare, and government. Their business model is B2B, offering design, supply, and programming services. The company leverages partnerships and certifications to strengthen market position. The presence of detailed case studies and a comprehensive Bright Ideas guide suggests a content-driven marketing approach targeting decision-makers in large organizations. The company maintains active social media channels and a newsletter to engage clients. Despite the lack of WHOIS data, the website content and certifications indicate a stable medium-sized enterprise with a strong UK market focus.

Security posture

GVAV's website employs HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens in forms, reflecting basic security hygiene. The presence of ISO27001 certification indicates organizational commitment to information security management. However, the site lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially impacting trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and clearer incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags supporting SEO. Video content is embedded using HTML5 standards. The site includes CSRF tokens in forms, indicating attention to secure data handling. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site is mobile-optimized and has clear navigation, contributing to a positive user experience. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which should be addressed to reduce operational risks.
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.
