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

Harlow Group Storage Limited is an established UK-based company specializing in secure, ambient temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics solutions since 1976. The company offers custom-fit warehousing facilities and project management services tailored to client needs, supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification. Their market position is that of a trusted medium-sized logistics provider serving innovative clients requiring advanced supply chain solutions. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Typekit fonts, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks important security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear professional and credible. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and technical implementation but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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 transportation sector, focusing on warehousing and logistics with a business-to-business model. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing experience, ISO certification, and ability to provide flexible, custom solutions. The website targets businesses requiring secure and temperature-controlled storage, emphasizing quality and reputation protection. The company maintains partnerships with creative and technical service providers for website design and photography. Growth indicators include a well-maintained online presence and adherence to quality standards. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company’s operations appear stable and focused on maintaining high standards and client satisfaction.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security.txt file is present. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent despite the use of tracking technologies, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and transparency about security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy controls to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear incident response and security policy page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve domain registration irregularities to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reliable and modern CMS platform, which simplifies content management and provides built-in HTTPS support. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for visitor tracking and Typekit for font management. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a naming rules violation, which is unusual and may indicate a misconfiguration or registration issue. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
