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

Hill Interior Contracts Ltd is a small UK-based company specializing in commercial refurbishment and construction services, primarily serving public sector clients such as local authorities, NHS Trusts, and educational institutions. Their service portfolio includes building extensions, office fit-outs, flooring, painting, decorating, partitioning, suspended ceilings, joinery, and external cladding. The company emphasizes quality workmanship and silent working practices, particularly in sensitive healthcare environments, positioning itself as a trusted regional contractor in the West Midlands. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 5.9.13 with jQuery and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is accessible with a moderate performance profile and basic mobile and accessibility optimizations. SEO is basic but functional, with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and security hardening. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not implement key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or HSTS, which could expose it to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a registration error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance of the website. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a niche commercial refurbishment business but should address security and compliance gaps, particularly around domain registration legitimacy, security headers, and privacy compliance, to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. 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
  • 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

Hill Interior Contracts Ltd operates in a specialized niche serving public sector and healthcare clients in the UK, focusing on commercial refurbishment and construction. Their competitive advantage lies in their reputation for quality and silent working in sensitive environments. The business model is service-oriented, relying on framework agreements and long-term client partnerships. The company targets public sector organizations, healthcare trusts, and educational institutions primarily in the West Midlands. The presence of certifications such as Constructionline and CHAS supports their credibility. Growth potential may be linked to expanding framework agreements and maintaining high service standards. The company’s digital presence is modest but professional, with room for improvement in technical and security maturity.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is enabled, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security effectiveness. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are in place. The lack of cookie consent and privacy compliance features indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. The domain registration issues identified in WHOIS data further reduce trustworthiness. Overall, while no immediate vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance measures to mitigate risks and improve resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues by verifying and correcting WHOIS information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and preparedness.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.9.13, utilizing jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO. Performance is moderate with no major blocking scripts detected. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. Accessibility features are minimal and could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
