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

IT Alliance Group is a well-established IT services provider founded in 1997, specializing in managed services, project delivery, consulting, and resourcing primarily across Ireland and the UK. Their unique Tier 2 Service Alliance business model enables them to partner with leading IT and technology brands to deliver IT projects and services on behalf of their clients. The company targets IT service providers and technology companies seeking reliable delivery partners. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and client testimonials, supporting their market position as a trusted mid-sized IT services firm. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern front-end technologies and SEO optimizations. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and employs responsive design for mobile users. The site loads with moderate performance and basic accessibility features. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with privacy and cookie policies, though no active cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, showing a long operational history and no suspicious WHOIS patterns. The website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with minor areas for improvement in security and privacy transparency.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

IT Alliance Group operates in the technology sector with a focus on IT managed services and project delivery. Their business model leverages strategic partnerships (Tier 2 Service Alliance) to extend their service reach through collaboration with major IT brands. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing reputation, comprehensive service portfolio, and strong client relationships with blue-chip companies. Revenue streams likely include managed service contracts, project delivery fees, consulting engagements, and resourcing services. The target customers are IT service providers and enterprises requiring outsourced IT project and service delivery. Growth indicators include a broad service offering, active social media presence, and continuous website updates. The partnership ecosystem includes Microsoft Dynamics CRM, ServiceNow, and remote desktop services, indicating integration with enterprise-grade platforms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), published security policies, and incident response contact information. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism despite having a cookie policy indicates partial GDPR compliance. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of trusted external services for staff login and support (Microsoft, ServiceNow) suggests good internal security practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by addressing the noted gaps to reduce risk and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.1 with the Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It uses modern CSS frameworks (Tailwind CSS) and JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated asynchronously for performance. The site is mobile responsive and uses semantic HTML with meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter Cards). Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML. The site uses external trusted services for staff login and support, indicating integration with enterprise platforms. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but security headers and accessibility features could be improved.
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.
