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

Nautoguide Ltd. is a UK-based technology company specializing in interactive map-based platforms for location data capture, management, and publishing. Their key offerings include the Geovey platform for immersive local tours, the open-source Locaria data publishing platform, and a boundary management tool operated by Civica. The company targets organizations and communities seeking innovative GIS and digital engagement solutions. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries and cloud infrastructure, with good mobile optimization and a professional design. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, lack of visible security headers, and missing WHOIS registration data present concerns. Security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities but could be improved with enhanced HTTPS and security headers. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved compliance and transparency measures.

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. 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: Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Nautoguide operates in a niche technology sector focused on geospatial data visualization and interactive mapping. Their business model combines open-source software development with consultancy and cloud-hosted services. Partnerships with established organizations like Civica, the Greater London Authority, Ordnance Survey, and Housemark strengthen their market position. The company appears small but well-connected, with Innovate UK funding supporting innovation. Their target customers include local authorities, community groups, and organizations requiring location-based digital engagement. The website content and partnerships indicate a credible and specialized business with growth potential in the GIS and digital mapping market.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website does not expose sensitive data and lacks user input forms, reducing attack surface. However, no security headers were detected, and HTTPS status could not be confirmed from the data provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The WHOIS data absence raises legitimacy concerns. Overall, the security culture appears basic but could be enhanced by implementing standard web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and verify certificate validity.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Establish clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to improve security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but simple technology stack including jQuery, ResponsiveSlides.js, Google Fonts, and Adobe Typekit. Hosting is inferred to be on Amazon AWS based on product descriptions. The site is mobile-optimized with good design and navigation. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a lightweight custom implementation. Performance is moderate with room for improvement. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal, lacking meta descriptions or structured data. Technical risks include missing security headers and unclear SSL configuration. Modernization opportunities include adding structured data, improving SEO, and enhancing security configurations.
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.
