Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.kendleysteel.co.uk currently serves a security verification page employing Google reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent automated access, indicating the presence of a Web Application Firewall or bot protection mechanism. Due to this, the actual business content is inaccessible, limiting the ability to analyze the company's services, market position, or digital maturity. The WHOIS lookup failed with an error indicating the domain name violates Nominet UK naming rules, suggesting the domain may not be properly registered or is misconfigured, which raises concerns about legitimacy. Technically, the site uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 and Google reCAPTCHA but lacks visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers in the provided data. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact or business information is available on the page.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Due to the lack of accessible content and WHOIS data, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain's invalid status and absence of business details suggest either a misconfigured domain or a placeholder site. No partnerships, subsidiaries, or market positioning information is available. The site does not provide any contact or trust signals, limiting credibility and business insight.

Security posture

The security posture is minimal and primarily focused on bot mitigation via Google reCAPTCHA v3. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The WHOIS data absence and domain naming error further reduce trustworthiness. Overall, the site shows a low security maturity level with significant gaps in compliance and best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure data in transit.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  4. Provide clear contact information and business details to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure legitimacy and avoid WHOIS lookup failures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for styling and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. The HTML content is minimal, serving only a security verification challenge with no business content. There is no indication of a CMS or hosting provider from the provided data. Performance is moderate due to minimal content but lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but lacks navigation or user experience elements. The domain's WHOIS data is unavailable, indicating potential registration or configuration issues that could impact business operations and trust.
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.
