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

INSPIRE is a UK-based small technology company specializing in website design, development, and managed hosting services primarily using WordPress. The company positions itself as a niche provider offering responsive, performance-optimized websites with additional services such as GA4 integration and ecommerce startup support. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting businesses seeking digital presence solutions. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including WordPress, jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and GDPR compliance plugins, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Privacy compliance is partially addressed via cookie consent but lacks a dedicated privacy policy page. The site uses analytics and tracking pixels responsibly with user consent. The overall risk is low, with recommendations focusing on enhancing privacy and security documentation and headers.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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 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';…
  3. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Business context

Business profile

INSPIRE operates as a service provider in the technology sector, focusing on WordPress website design and managed hosting. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting small to medium businesses in the UK. The company appears to have a focused market position with specialized offerings such as GA4 integration and ecommerce guidance, which may provide competitive advantages. Revenue streams likely derive from design, development, hosting, and consulting services. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism and structured data indicates digital maturity. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The company maintains clear contact channels and a professional online presence, supporting customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be a compliance gap. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel is managed with consent, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a small business but would benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and display a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and GDPR cookie compliance plugins. It uses Flying Press for caching, contributing to fast load times and good performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. Structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for SEO benefits. Hosting provider details are not explicitly stated. The technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The site uses asynchronous and deferred script loading to optimize performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and reliable user experience.
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.
