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

JE Consulting is a UK-based marketing consultancy specializing in professional sectors such as accounting, legal, and healthcare. The company offers integrated services including social media management, web design, direct marketing, graphic design, and PR. Positioned as a niche expert, JE Consulting targets professional firms seeking to enhance their market presence with innovative and unified marketing strategies. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, client testimonials, and clear business information, supporting its credibility and market position. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA v3 for form security. The site is mobile-optimized, SEO-friendly, and employs GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate with good accessibility and navigation, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to prevent spam. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected and should be implemented to enhance protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent management. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a query error related to the www subdomain, but this does not detract from the legitimacy of the business as evidenced by consistent company information and professional presentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and conducting regular security audits to maintain a robust security posture.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

JE Consulting operates in a specialized marketing niche serving professional firms in finance, legal, and healthcare sectors. Its competitive advantage lies in a unified approach to social media, web design, and direct marketing tailored to these sectors. The business model is service-based consultancy with a focus on long-term client relationships, as evidenced by extensive testimonials. Revenue streams likely include retainer contracts and project-based work. The company demonstrates growth through digital content updates and client engagement. Partnerships with K3 Advisory Group and Chartergroup enhance its ecosystem and credibility. The company maintains a strong UK presence with multiple office locations, reinforcing its market reach and operational scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. Cookie consent is managed via the Complianz GDPR plugin, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No signs of vulnerabilities, malware, or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policy documents are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to clients and stakeholders to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate security risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for improved inclusivity.
  5. Maintain up-to-date software and plugins to reduce exposure to known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of popular plugins and frameworks such as Bootstrap for responsive design, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 enhances form security. The site loads moderate resources including external scripts from Google and CDNJS, balancing performance and functionality. Mobile optimization is good with responsive layouts and font scaling. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is well implemented with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well maintained with opportunities for further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
