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

Intuitive Thinking Skills is a UK-based organization specializing in peer-led attitudinal and behaviour change programs. They offer mentoring and accredited courses designed and delivered by individuals with lived experience, targeting sectors such as criminal justice, public health, education, and social care. The company positions itself as a leader in attitude behaviour change with a strong focus on sustainable outcomes and independence for service users. Their market presence is supported by multiple accreditations and partnerships with recognized UK government and certification bodies. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies including React and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Trustpilot are integrated for user insights and reputation management. However, some security headers are missing, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a moderate security posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of certain HTTP security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable and flagged with an error from Nominet, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional and active website presence. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy from a business and user perspective, but the domain registration inconsistency and minor security header omissions suggest areas for risk mitigation and compliance enhancement.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 in the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on education and social care services. Their business model revolves around delivering accredited peer-led training and mentoring programs, supported by consultancy and bespoke services. They maintain strong partnerships with UK government agencies and certification bodies, enhancing their credibility and market reach. The target customers include public sector commissioners, social care providers, and individuals seeking behavioural change support. The company shows growth potential through digital distance learning and e-learning courses. Their strategic partnerships and accreditations provide competitive advantages and trust signals in a specialized niche market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security contact channels are provided. Cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may impact GDPR compliance. The site uses reputable third-party analytics and review services but should enhance security headers and privacy controls to improve compliance and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
  3. Add X-Content-Type-Options header to prevent MIME sniffing.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS domain registration inconsistencies to improve trustworthiness.
  6. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  7. Consider adding incident response contact information for security issues.
  8. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  9. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  10. Review and document data retention policies for analytics and user data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Montere theme and incorporates modern JavaScript libraries including React and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping. It integrates Google Analytics via MonsterInsights and Trustpilot for customer reviews. The site uses CDN resources such as MaxCDN and unpkg for fonts and scripts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags implemented. The site lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site structure and navigation are clear and user-friendly, supporting a positive 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.
