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

MacWilliam Demolition Ltd is a small, established demolition and asbestos removal company based in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, with a family history dating back to 1922. The company offers a range of services including demolition, clearance, plant and machinery hire, and asbestos removal, targeting commercial, industrial, and local authority clients. Their market position is that of a trusted local specialist with multiple industry certifications and memberships. Technically, the website is built on the Multiscreensite CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Snowplow Analytics for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, with good content quality and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though there is room for improvement in security headers and published policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violation, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, but the website content and business information appear professional and consistent with a legitimate small business. Overall, the site scores well in content, technical implementation, security, and privacy compliance, with minor penalties related to WHOIS data and security policy transparency.

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

1 finding 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

      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 construction and environmental services sector, focusing on demolition and asbestos removal. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing family history, industry certifications, and 24/7 availability. The business model is service-oriented, catering to commercial and local authority clients in Scotland. Revenue streams likely come from contracted demolition projects, asbestos removal services, and equipment hire. The website indicates a focus on safety, efficiency, and high workmanship standards. Partnerships with industry bodies and presence on business directories like Yell enhance credibility. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service offering and strong local presence. Strategic observations suggest the company could benefit from enhanced digital trust signals such as detailed security policies and incident response contacts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Use of CAPTCHA on the contact form reduces spam risk. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small business but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance WHOIS domain registration information or consider domain registration review to resolve naming rule issues and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Multiscreensite CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery 3.7.0 and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Snowplow Analytics. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site uses Mapbox for map embedding and FontAwesome for icons. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags. Accessibility is basic but present. The site uses HTTPS with a presumably strong SSL configuration. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence suitable for a small service business.
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.
