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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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

Lawn Co. operates as a small, essential service provider in the landscaping and lawn care sector, targeting residential and commercial clients in Boise and the surrounding Treasure Valley. Their business model focuses on service delivery with a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, as evidenced by multiple positive Google reviews and testimonials. The company leverages partnerships for payment processing and hosting, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Their long-standing presence since 1988 suggests stability and experience, positioning them well against local competitors. The website content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement, with clear calls to action and service descriptions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a suite of security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed credentials, malware, or phishing indicators. The use of reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms indicates attention to security and privacy. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security measures are appropriate for the business scale but could be enhanced with formalized policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security with advanced validation and anti-bot measures beyond reCAPTCHA.
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the OceanWP theme and Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The inclusion of Font Awesome icons and jQuery libraries supports rich UI elements. Performance is moderate, with some heavy SVG and Lottie animations that may impact load times. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as an accessibility menu plugin. SEO is well addressed with Rank Math plugin and proper meta tags. Hosting is provided by Enter.Net, a known provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance optimization and continuous maintenance.
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.
