Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

Newhall Janitorial Limited is a well-established distributor of professional cleaning and hygiene products based in South Wales, operating independently since 1988. The company has a strong market position as a leading specialist distributor with a focus on customer service and quality products. Their website reflects a professional business model targeting commercial clients in the cleaning sector. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET WebForms with common libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic with presence of privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism. Overall, the business credibility is high due to clear contact information and consistent branding, though WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain query error, which slightly impacts trust assessment.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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 retail sector focusing on cleaning and janitorial supplies, serving businesses primarily in South Wales. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence since 1988 and reputation for customer service. The business model is distribution-centric with a broad product catalogue and partnerships with well-known manufacturers. Revenue streams likely come from product sales and service offerings. The website indicates a mature digital presence with social media engagement on Twitter and LinkedIn. Strategic partnerships such as with i-teamglobal.com are evident. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product range and active online catalogues. The company maintains a professional image with consistent branding and clear contact channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in security culture and readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent are present, indicating some compliance with GDPR, but no explicit data protection officer contact or detailed data retention policies are found. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not necessarily indicate malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with better headers, documented incident response, and improved privacy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues to improve readiness and trust.
  3. Enhance privacy policy with detailed GDPR compliance statements and data retention policies.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider resolving WHOIS data issues to improve domain transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform using Telerik UI controls, jQuery, and Bootstrap 3.3.7. It uses Google Analytics for tracking and has a responsive design suitable for mobile devices. Performance is moderate with no major blocking issues detected. The site uses server-side form handling with ASP.NET postbacks. There is some technical debt due to older frameworks but the site remains functional and professional. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve SEO and accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
