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

NLP Financial Management is a London-based boutique financial advisory firm specializing in investment planning, portfolio management, retirement planning, inheritance tax planning, life insurance, and private medical insurance. The company targets individuals and businesses seeking personalized financial services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a clear focus on financial services. The domain is well-established, registered since 2002, which supports the company's credibility and market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins and themes, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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

  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 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

The company operates in the finance sector, providing essential investment and insurance services. Its boutique model suggests a focus on personalized client relationships rather than mass-market services. The website's social media presence on Twitter and LinkedIn indicates engagement with professional networks. The lack of visible certifications or regulatory disclosures on the website is a potential area for enhancement. The business model relies on advisory and portfolio management fees, targeting a UK-based clientele. The domain age and consistent branding support a stable market position. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. Security headers are minimal, and there is no Content Security Policy or security.txt file. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. Forms are implemented via Contact Form 7, a widely used WordPress plugin, but no explicit anti-spam or input validation details are visible. The absence of privacy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adopting best practices such as CSP, security policies, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to reduce vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.1.22 with the Salient theme and Visual Composer page builder. It uses jQuery 1.12.4 and Google Tag Manager and Analytics scripts loaded asynchronously. The site enforces HTTPS via a JavaScript redirect. CSS and JS assets are properly linked and minified. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with some large CSS blocks and multiple external scripts. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is 123-Reg Limited. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small professional WordPress site with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
