High risk. 8 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS, DNS health and 3 other checks.

Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website heartlandcontractors.co.uk is a parked domain primarily serving as an affiliate marketing portal with generic category links. It lacks any substantive business content, contact information, or branding that would indicate an active company presence. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules violations, suggesting the domain is either invalid or improperly registered. The site is hosted by ParkLogic, a known domain parking service, and contains scripts to prevent automated interactions, indicating minimal active management. Technically, the site uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS. Security posture is weak with no HTTPS or security headers detected. Privacy compliance is minimal with only a basic privacy policy page linked in the footer but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site appears to be a placeholder rather than a legitimate business website.

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

8 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      Domain Expired

      Domain expired 2 days ago

      What to do: Renew domain registration immediately

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

There is no identifiable business entity or operational company behind this domain. The site functions as a parked domain with affiliate links to various categories such as Real Estate, Entertainment, and Travel. There is no evidence of revenue streams beyond affiliate marketing. The lack of contact details, company registration data, or social media presence indicates no active market positioning or customer engagement. The domain registration failure further undermines credibility. The site likely targets general internet users seeking category links but does not represent a real business or service provider.

Security posture

The security posture is poor. The absence of HTTPS means data confidentiality and integrity are not ensured. No security headers are present to mitigate common web attacks. The site uses a JavaScript human interaction verification script to block automated clicks and form submissions, but no forms are present to collect user data. No incident response or security policy information is available. The lack of registrant data and domain registration issues raise concerns about legitimacy and potential risks. Overall, the site does not meet basic security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL certificate and enforce HTTPS to secure user connections.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear and verifiable contact information and business details to improve credibility.
  4. Implement a cookie consent mechanism if cookies or tracking technologies are used.
  5. Consider removing or replacing the parked domain with a legitimate business website or redirect to an active domain.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a simple static page served by ParkLogic domain parking service. It uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any modern frameworks or CMS. The site is mobile responsive with a grid layout for category links. Performance is moderate given minimal content. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected beyond the parking service script. There is no evidence of technical debt but the site lacks modernization and professional infrastructure. Hosting is provided by ParkLogic, which specializes in domain monetization rather than business hosting. The site’s technical simplicity aligns with its status as a parked domain.
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.
