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

2 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 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

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 business is positioned as an essential local support entity for Jersey businesses, covering sectors such as finance, operations, growth, and people management. It offers key services like business advice, funding information, and educational resources. The presence of social media channels and a chatbot indicates a commitment to user engagement and support. The business model focuses on advisory and support services, targeting small to medium-sized enterprises in Jersey. The website content and structure reflect a well-organized approach to serving its audience with relevant and timely information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses modern security best practices, including the use of secure JavaScript libraries and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Security headers are assumed present though not explicitly visible in the HTML. No vulnerable libraries or security misconfigurations were detected. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is noted. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced communication of security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase visibility of contact information for security and general inquiries.

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including React for UI, Umbraco CMS for content management, and various JavaScript libraries such as Glide.js for sliders and LightGallery for media display. It integrates third-party services like Intercom for chat support and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses progressive enhancement techniques. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The technical implementation supports a good user experience and scalable content delivery.
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.
