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

Lock Shop Dundee is a well-established local security service provider operating since 1984, specializing in locksmith services, key cutting, safe services, master keying, access control, and electronic home security. The company serves residential and commercial clients primarily in the Tayside region of the United Kingdom. Their unique partnership with Electro Guard Fire & Security Ltd, owned by the same directors, enhances their market position by offering comprehensive security solutions. The website reflects a professional business with clear service offerings and contact information, supporting their local reputation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, some technical improvements are recommended, including the addition of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, which is a strong positive. However, the absence of security headers and lack of a published security policy or incident response information indicate room for improvement in security posture. The WHOIS lookup failed due to an invalid query including the 'www' prefix, resulting in no domain registration data available. This limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business with a solid local presence. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices would further strengthen trust and reduce risk exposure.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

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

Lock Shop Dundee operates as a small, essential local business in the security services sector, focusing on locksmith and electronic security solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1984 and their partnership with Electro Guard Fire & Security Ltd, which broadens their service capabilities. The business model is service-oriented, targeting residential and commercial property owners in the Tayside area. Revenue streams likely derive from service fees for locksmith work, key cutting, safe servicing, and installation of access control and home security systems. The partnership ecosystem includes Electro Guard and an online shop domain, indicating a multi-channel approach. Growth indicators include sustained operation and visible accreditations. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital trust through improved privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which require careful management to avoid privacy risks. No forms were detected on the homepage, reducing attack surface from input vectors. Compliance with GDPR is minimal, with no privacy or cookie policies found. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced controls, policies, and transparency to meet modern compliance and security expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder, which facilitates responsive design and ease of content management. The technology stack includes jQuery and Google Analytics for interactivity and analytics. Performance is moderate with caching and minification evident from CSS and JS file URLs. Mobile optimization is good, with viewport meta tags and responsive layouts. Accessibility is basic, with some semantic HTML elements but no advanced ARIA roles detected. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured JSON-LD data describing the organization and webpage. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of privacy compliance mechanisms, which could impact user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
