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

JP Harris Developments Ltd is a small, family-owned property renovation specialist based in Reading, UK, offering a range of building services including house extensions, new builds, kitchen and bathroom installations, and loft and garage conversions. The company emphasizes reliability, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction, supported by positive testimonials and a professional online presence. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies and analytics tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security measures include HTTPS and CAPTCHA protections on forms, but lack some advanced security headers and published security policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a naming rules error, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content itself appears professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site presents a credible business with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration clarity.

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. 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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  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

The company operates in the residential real estate renovation sector, targeting homeowners in Reading and nearby areas. Its competitive advantage lies in its local reputation, family-owned business model, and comprehensive service offerings. The business model is service-oriented, relying on direct customer engagement and project-based revenue. The website's integration with yell.com and social media presence supports marketing efforts. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. Growth indicators include multiple positive customer testimonials and a broad service portfolio. Strategic observations suggest the company could benefit from enhancing its online security posture and clarifying domain registration details to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA and Friendly Captcha on contact forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and content injection. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration irregularities introduce a moderate risk factor. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better header implementation and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS registration anomaly to ensure domain legitimacy and build trust with visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is built on the Multiscreensite CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.0 and skrollr for animations. It integrates Snowplow analytics for user tracking and employs Google reCAPTCHA and Friendly Captcha for form security. Hosting and content delivery leverage multiscreensite.com CDN infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in CSS loading and caching strategies. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
