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

Maison Care Ltd is a UK-based healthcare service provider specializing in care for individuals with learning and physical disabilities, complex needs, and autistic spectrum disorders. The company operates multiple residential care homes and supported living services, emphasizing person-centered care and positive behaviour support. The website reflects a well-established business with over 25 years of experience and a clear focus on delivering quality care services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, utilizing several plugins for functionality such as sliders and contact forms. While the site is functional and provides a good user experience, it uses outdated software versions which pose security risks. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks advanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, but lacks visible security headers and uses outdated libraries. No critical vulnerabilities were detected in the content, but updating the platform and implementing security best practices is recommended to improve the security posture. Overall, the website is credible and professional, with clear business information and contact details. The WHOIS data query failed due to an invalid domain query for the 'www' subdomain, but the main domain appears legitimate and consistent with the business. Strategic improvements in security and privacy compliance would enhance trust and reduce risk.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  4. 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

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

Maison Care Ltd holds a solid position in the healthcare sector, focusing on specialized care for disabled individuals. Their competitive advantage lies in long-standing experience, personalized care models, and multiple residential facilities. The business model centers on direct care provision with a strong emphasis on positive behaviour support and community integration. Revenue streams likely derive from care contracts and supported living arrangements. The target customers include individuals with disabilities and their families, as well as healthcare commissioners. The company shows growth indicators through website updates and multiple service offerings. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and has implemented a cookie consent mechanism, indicating some compliance with privacy regulations. However, the use of outdated WordPress and JavaScript libraries introduces vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The absence of security headers reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no evidence of an incident response policy or security certifications. Data protection practices appear basic, with no visible GDPR compliance beyond cookie consent. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website. Overall, the security posture requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by expanding the privacy policy to cover GDPR requirements and data retention policies.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response plan and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Improve website accessibility and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and compliance.

  2. Content is well-structured with clear navigation and multiple service offerings.
  3. No signs of malicious content or phishing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older WordPress version (4.1.42) with Bootstrap 3.3.2 and jQuery 1.11.1, which are outdated and may contain security vulnerabilities. The site uses several plugins for sliders, contact forms, and cookie consent, indicating a moderately complex setup. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but could benefit from modernization. SEO practices are basic, with canonical tags and meta viewport present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Technical debt is evident in outdated software and lack of security headers, presenting modernization opportunities to improve security and performance.
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.
