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

New Forest Removals is a small, family-run removals and storage company based in the United Kingdom, specializing in UK-wide, international, and Channel Island removals. With over 30 years of experience and notable clients including Sotheby’s and celebrities, the company positions itself as a trusted specialist in the transportation sector. Their website reflects a professional service offering with clear descriptions of key services such as packing, shipping, storage, and car transportation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins and libraries, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some security practices observed, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and domain registration verification are recommended to enhance credibility and security.

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. 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"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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 transportation sector, focusing on removals and storage services primarily in the UK and Channel Islands, with international reach. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting residential and commercial customers seeking stress-free relocation solutions. The website highlights a strong market position supported by decades of experience and high-profile clients, which serves as a competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely derive from removals, storage, and specialized transport services such as car transportation for events. The partnership with a local web design firm indicates a localized digital ecosystem. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and digital presence, though the lack of privacy and security disclosures may hinder trust with privacy-conscious customers. The company’s ecosystem appears limited to direct service offerings without visible subsidiaries or partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of security plugins like Wordfence. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern but common technology stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, RoyalSlider, and Fancybox. It uses Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking and social integration. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization present. However, there is a lack of advanced accessibility features and no visible security headers. The domain registration inconsistency is a technical risk that could impact business operations and trust. The site would benefit from modernization efforts focusing on security hardening, privacy compliance, and improved accessibility to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
