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

NAFS Accountants is a UK-based professional services firm specializing in accounting, tax consultancy, and business support services tailored for SMEs and limited companies. The company positions itself as a trusted partner delivering clarity, precision, and commercial insight to help businesses stay compliant and profitable. Their key services include accounting and tax compliance, strategic financial advice, annual reporting, and HMRC compliance support. The website reflects a professional brand with clear contact information and client success indicators, targeting UK businesses seeking reliable financial expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and several reputable plugins, including Contact Form 7 and Bullish theme modules. The site demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The presence of modern web fonts, swiper sliders, and chat integration indicates a contemporary digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and some security best practices but lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and security.txt for vulnerability disclosure. No advanced WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and no exposed sensitive data is found. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security headers, and transparent domain registration information to strengthen trust and compliance 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. 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

NAFS Accountants operates in the UK finance sector, focusing on SMEs and limited companies. Their competitive advantage lies in delivering clear, practical advice and compliance support tailored to UK tax regulations. The business model is service-based, generating revenue through consultancy and accounting services. The target customers are small to medium-sized UK businesses requiring expert financial guidance. Growth indicators include client success statistics and a retention rate, though specific financial data is not disclosed. The company leverages partnerships with leading UK accounting software platforms, enhancing service quality and integration capabilities. Strategic observations suggest a focus on clarity, compliance, and client trust as core operational pillars.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. However, the lack of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy reduces the overall security posture. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism indicates limited incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of reputable plugins and no visible vulnerabilities is positive, but regular security audits and header enhancements are recommended to mitigate risks and improve security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  2. Publish privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance security headers by adding X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to protect against clickjacking and referrer leakage.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, supported by plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Bullish theme modules. The tech stack includes jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Google Fonts for typography, and Collect.chat for chatbot functionality. The site loads with moderate speed and is optimized for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by canonical tags and meta descriptions, though some meta descriptions are empty. The technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
