Risk levelHigh

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

Libra Construction Services Ltd is a well-established construction company based in Kent, UK, with over 40 years of experience providing a wide range of residential and commercial building services. Their offerings include major refurbishment works, insurance reinstatement, planned maintenance, emergency services, and construction for education and public buildings. The company positions itself as a reliable and proficient service provider with recognized industry accreditations and a strong community presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and incorporates modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized, SEO-friendly, and includes interactive elements like Instagram feeds and contact forms secured with Google reCAPTCHA v3. However, some accessibility features and security headers could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements CAPTCHA on forms, but lacks explicit security headers and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a registration error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance and content of the website. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for Libra Construction, but the domain registration issues and missing compliance policies suggest areas for improvement to strengthen trust and security posture.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Libra Construction operates in the real estate and construction sector, targeting residential and commercial clients primarily in Kent, UK. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, diverse service portfolio, and recognized certifications. The business model focuses on direct construction and refurbishment services, insurance reinstatement, and emergency response, catering to property owners, landlords, and public sector clients. The company leverages digital marketing through social media and SEO to maintain visibility. Growth indicators include active community engagement and a comprehensive service offering. Partnerships with certification bodies enhance credibility. Strategic observations suggest the company could benefit from resolving domain registration issues and enhancing privacy compliance to support expansion and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options limits protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, which could hinder timely reporting and resolution of security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small to medium business but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data accuracy and domain legitimacy.
  4. Establish a dedicated security contact or incident response channel to improve security governance.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA v3 indicates awareness of analytics and security needs. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts and social media feeds, which may impact performance but are standard for marketing-focused sites. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for compliance and inclusivity. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for business and website schema. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
