Risk levelMedium

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

Hertfordshire Couriers Ltd operates a website hosted on the Wix platform, offering courier and delivery services primarily targeting businesses and individuals in Hertfordshire, UK. The website presents basic information about their services but lacks comprehensive business details, contact information, and legal policies. The site is not indexed by search engines due to the 'noindex' directive, limiting its online visibility. Technically, the website uses standard Wix technologies and polyfills, providing moderate performance and mobile optimization. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and contact details indicates a low level of digital maturity and compliance. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rule violations, suggesting the domain may not be properly registered or active, which raises significant legitimacy concerns. Overall, the security posture is minimal with no advanced protections or incident response mechanisms evident.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 business appears to be a small local courier service focusing on transportation and delivery within Hertfordshire and possibly national coverage. The business model is service-oriented, targeting local businesses and individuals needing parcel delivery. The lack of detailed company information, certifications, or partnerships limits the ability to assess competitive advantages or growth potential. The website's limited content and absence of trust signals such as testimonials or certifications suggest a basic online presence. No related or partner domains were identified, and no affiliate or marketing programs are evident.

Security posture

The website lacks critical security features such as security headers and documented security policies. SSL/TLS status is unknown from the provided data but is presumed present due to Wix hosting. No forms or user input mechanisms were detected, reducing immediate attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS data failure and domain registration issues represent a significant risk factor, undermining trust and raising questions about domain legitimacy. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, indicating low security readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Register and verify the domain properly with a valid WHOIS record to establish legitimacy.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to improve security posture.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails, phone numbers, and physical address.
  5. Enable SEO indexing and improve website content quality to increase visibility and professionalism.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Wix, leveraging its standard JavaScript libraries and polyfills for compatibility. The site uses modern fonts and responsive design features, providing good mobile optimization. However, SEO is disabled via 'noindex' meta tag, limiting organic reach. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimizations detected. Accessibility features are basic, with some focus ring styles present. No CMS other than Wix is detected. Hosting is provided by Wix's infrastructure. No advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies are evident. The site lacks security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms, indicating technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
