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

NoticeBoardTv Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in providing professional waiting room information screen solutions primarily for healthcare providers such as GP surgeries, dentists, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and veterinary practices. Established since 2006, the company offers a SaaS model combining hardware control boxes with pre-loaded software and a user-friendly control panel for live content updates, including YouTube integration and content libraries. Their market position is niche and focused on improving patient experience by reducing perceived wait times through engaging digital signage. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, jQuery, and popular JavaScript libraries for sliders and carousels. It integrates Google Analytics and CANDDi for visitor tracking and marketing insights. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO and basic accessibility features, though some improvements could be made in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent banners, which are important for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain may not be properly registered, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance of the site. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a small healthcare technology business, but the absence of WHOIS data and some privacy compliance features suggest areas for improvement. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, clarifying domain registration, and adding security and incident response policies to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

NoticeBoardTv Ltd operates in the healthcare technology sector, targeting UK healthcare providers with digital signage solutions for waiting rooms. Their competitive advantage lies in a specialized product tailored to healthcare environments, offering live content updates and easy-to-use software. Revenue likely derives from hardware sales, software subscriptions, and content creation services. The company leverages partnerships with demo hosting sites (nbtv.co.uk) to showcase products. Growth indicators include a long operational history since 2006 and a clear focus on customer support and trial offerings. The business ecosystem includes healthcare providers and digital signage technology vendors. Strategic observations suggest maintaining niche focus while expanding digital marketing and compliance efforts to enhance market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy practices. The missing WHOIS data introduces a risk factor regarding domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but requires enhancements in policy transparency, header implementation, and compliance to reduce risk and improve stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Clarify and verify domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trust.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for interactivity, and LayerSlider and Owl Carousel for dynamic content presentation. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for aesthetics and analytics respectively. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved for compliance with standards. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts without visible security controls and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility, security, and privacy compliance to reduce technical debt and improve user trust.
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.
