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

Hearns Specialised Joinery Ltd is a small, established bespoke joinery business based in Dorking, Surrey, with a history dating back to 1982. The company specializes in custom doors, staircases, windows, and bespoke furniture, targeting homeowners and property owners in Surrey and South West London. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing craftsmanship and quality materials. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries, cookie consent management, and Google Analytics, with good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rule violations, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy in content, but domain registration issues reduce full trust.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 operates a service-based business model focused on bespoke joinery craftsmanship. Their market position is that of a specialized local provider with decades of experience, serving a niche market of homeowners seeking high-quality custom woodwork. Revenue streams likely come from bespoke joinery projects and furniture commissions. The company maintains a partnership with Reach Solutions for website design. The absence of social media links suggests limited digital marketing channels. The comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent indicate awareness of compliance requirements. The business appears stable but small in scale, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The contact form includes spam protection. There is no visible incident response or security policy page, which limits transparency. GDPR compliance is well addressed through privacy and cookie policies. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS domain registration issue to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Add a terms of service page to complete the legal framework and provide clarity on user agreements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mono CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie management, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. It embeds Vimeo videos for multimedia content. The site uses lazy loading for images and includes a service worker script that unregisters existing service workers on load, possibly to avoid caching issues. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site lacks explicit security headers and could benefit from improved accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
