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

KB Heating is a small UK-based heating service provider focused on delivering comfort solutions to local customers. The website is built on the GoDaddy Website Builder platform and hosted by GoDaddy.com, LLC. It features a professional design with clear branding and a contact form protected by Google reCAPTCHA. Privacy and cookie policies are linked to Google's standard policies, indicating basic compliance with GDPR. However, no explicit company contact emails or phone numbers are provided, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are found on the site. The WHOIS data shows a suspicious domain creation date in the future (2026), which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates moderate digital maturity with room for improvement in security and business credibility.

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. 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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 energy sector, specifically heating services, targeting homeowners and local customers in the UK. The business model is service-oriented with key offerings including heating installation, maintenance, and repair. The website positions KB Heating as a local small business with consistent branding and good content quality. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or parent companies. The lack of direct contact details and limited online presence may constrain growth and customer trust. The use of GoDaddy's platform suggests a cost-effective approach to digital presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect its contact form, which are positive security measures. However, no additional security headers are detected, and there is no visible security or incident response policy. The absence of explicit contact channels for security incidents and lack of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicate a low to moderate security maturity. The suspicious WHOIS data further impacts trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but should be enhanced to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish dedicated privacy, security, and incident response policies on the company’s own domain.
  3. Add clear company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  4. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration data to ensure legitimacy and avoid suspicion.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack based on GoDaddy Website Builder with JavaScript and Google reCAPTCHA integration. Web fonts are loaded from reliable sources, enhancing visual appeal. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO optimization is basic, relying on standard meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, a reputable provider. There is an opportunity to improve technical robustness by adding security headers and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
