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

4 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';…

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 educational institutions and corporate sectors within the UK, offering tailored catering services. Their market position is that of an established mid-sized player with a history dating back to 1994. The business model focuses on service quality and bespoke offerings, supported by a skilled culinary team. The website's integration with social media and GDPR compliance indicates awareness of regulatory and marketing best practices. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain data. The company benefits from a clear brand identity and a content strategy that highlights their values and service excellence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance are actively managed via a dedicated plugin. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data visibility by querying the correct domain (harrisoncatering.co.uk) to improve domain legitimacy verification.
  5. Maintain and monitor GDPR compliance and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing regulatory adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.9.4, utilizing popular plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, and Moove GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy management. The site uses jQuery and modern CSS with responsive design principles, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Images are served in WebP format for performance optimization. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site performance is moderate, with room for improvement in hosting and caching strategies. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed.
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.
