Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS.

Security score

83/100

Risk levelLow

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

Grandir UK operates a network of nurseries across the UK, including the Head Start Day Nursery in Milton Keynes Village. The company provides early childhood education and care services, targeting parents seeking quality nursery education. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and includes comprehensive educational program descriptions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme and integrates modern libraries such as Swiper.js and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and anti-spam protections, though the absence of a published vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional online presence.

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. 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

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

Grandir UK positions itself as a regional nursery provider with a medium-sized footprint in the education sector. Its business model focuses on delivering nursery and preschool education services with a strong emphasis on educational quality and child development. The company targets parents and guardians in the UK, leveraging multiple nursery locations to capture regional markets. The website content and structured data indicate a well-established brand with consistent messaging and trust signals such as contact information and privacy policies. The use of multiple advertising and analytics platforms suggests an active marketing strategy to drive customer engagement and growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and anti-spam measures. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file and absence of explicit incident response contact channels indicate gaps in transparency and readiness. These gaps could impact trust and incident handling efficiency. Regular audits of third-party scripts and enhanced accessibility compliance would further strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate security communications.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and advertising pixels to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, supported by modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for interactive elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Application Insights, and multiple advertising pixels for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are well implemented, contributing to a secure browsing experience. The technical stack is current but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
