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

Jigsaw Homes Group is a large UK-based non-profit housing association providing affordable homes to rent and buy, managing over 37,000 properties primarily across the North West and East Midlands. The organization targets residents, tenants, leaseholders, investors, and community stakeholders, focusing on property management, tenant support, and community engagement. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress 7.0 with modern SEO and analytics tools, demonstrating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks publicly available security policies or incident response information. The WHOIS data is incomplete due to querying a subdomain, but the website content and structure indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained, with room for improvement in transparency around security and incident response.

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. 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. 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

Jigsaw Homes Group holds a strong market position as a major regional housing provider in the UK, operating a non-profit business model focused on affordable housing and community services. Its key competitive advantages include scale, regional coverage, and a comprehensive service offering including rent, maintenance, tenancy management, and resident engagement. The organization leverages partnerships and subsidiaries such as the Jigsaw Foundation to extend its community impact. The website supports business intelligence by providing clear information on services, governance, and performance, aiding stakeholder trust and engagement. Growth indicators include strategic plans and ESG reporting. The digital presence supports recruitment and investor relations, indicating a mature operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS, multiple security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness perception. DNSSEC is not indicated, which could be improved. The use of multiple Google Analytics IDs suggests extensive user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and incident readiness communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy by reviewing tracking practices and providing clear data retention policies.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 7.0 CMS platform with Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. The site uses responsive design techniques and accessibility best practices, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. The presence of GDPR cookie consent indicates compliance with privacy regulations. The technical stack is standard for a professional non-profit organization, with no critical technical debt or risks identified from the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively.
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.
