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

The website mad-sheep.co.uk is currently a parked domain with minimal content primarily consisting of advertising placeholders and consent management scripts. The domain is invalid according to the official Nominet UK WHOIS lookup, indicating it is not properly registered and likely not in active business use. There is no identifiable business information, contact details, or privacy policies present on the site. Technically, the site uses JavaScript and a ConsentManager CMP for cookie consent but lacks evidence of HTTPS or security headers. The overall security posture is weak, and the site does not demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Given the lack of legitimate content and domain registration issues, the site has a low trustworthiness and credibility score.

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

8 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

    • 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention mad-sheep.co.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for mad-sheep.co.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

No business intelligence can be derived from the website due to the absence of business-related content, contact information, or company details. The domain appears to be parked and offered for sale via an external marketplace (above.com). There are no indications of active operations, market positioning, or customer engagement. The external links are primarily related to advertising and consent management services, with no partner or subsidiary relationships identified.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is poor. The domain is not registered properly, and no HTTPS or SSL certificate confirmation is present in the provided data. No security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are detected. The site uses third-party consent management scripts but lacks privacy and security policies. There is no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information available. These factors indicate a low maturity level in security and compliance, posing risks if the domain were to be used for active business purposes.

Recommendations

  1. Register a valid domain name compliant with Nominet UK rules to establish legitimacy.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Add clear contact information and incident response channels to improve trust and security posture.
  5. Deploy standard security headers and conduct regular security assessments to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is technically minimal, relying on JavaScript and external consent management scripts from consentmanager.net. There is no evidence of a CMS or modern web framework. The site performance is moderate but limited by the lack of substantive content. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic due to minimal design and content. SEO optimization is poor as there are no meta tags, structured data, or meaningful content. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. The site appears to be a placeholder with advertising and domain sale notices, indicating technical debt and lack of active development.
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.
