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

ITC Compliance Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in providing regulatory support and FCA Appointed Representative status services primarily to the UK Retail Automotive sector. Established in 2004, ITC has positioned itself as a market leader offering a comprehensive suite of services including consultancy, training, and innovative software solutions such as the Apex Deal File and Apex Communication platforms. Their client base includes notable automotive groups, reflecting strong market trust and sector expertise. Technically, the website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, likely Vue.js, and hosted on AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and security headers suggests room for improvement in privacy and security implementations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and security.txt disclosures. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The company demonstrates compliance with GDPR through a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, though cookie consent is missing. Contact information is clearly presented, enhancing business credibility. Overall, ITC Compliance presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a solid business model and technical foundation. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy consent mechanisms would further strengthen their security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

ITC Compliance operates as a specialized service provider in the FCA regulatory compliance space, targeting automotive retailers and insurers in the UK. Their competitive advantage lies in their deep sector expertise, proprietary software solutions, and a strong reputation supported by FCA authorization and vocational excellence certifications. The business model focuses on recurring service offerings including appointed representative status, consultancy, and training, generating stable revenue streams. The company’s partnership ecosystem includes recognized automotive groups, enhancing market reach. Growth indicators include nearly two decades of operation and continuous innovation in compliance technology. Strategic observations suggest maintaining leadership through technology adoption and expanding consultancy services could drive future growth.

Security posture

The security maturity of ITC Compliance is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS and domain registration protections effectively, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which are standard best practices. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security transparency. Data protection practices appear adequate with GDPR-compliant privacy policies, but absence of cookie consent mechanisms may expose compliance risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, suggesting a low immediate risk. Enhancing security policies, implementing security.txt, and improving privacy consent would elevate the security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify any hidden vulnerabilities and improve incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with modular ES6 scripts and hosted on AWS infrastructure, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical foundation. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive design for mobile users. The use of AWS S3 for document hosting is efficient for static content delivery. However, the absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or lightweight solution. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. SEO is adequately addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and lack of security headers which could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
