Risk levelMedium

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

The website nottinghampestcontrol.co.uk currently presents a security verification page that blocks access to its main content using Google reCAPTCHA v3. This indicates the presence of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or bot protection mechanism, which prevents full content and business information analysis. The domain is registered with 20i Ltd since 2000, suggesting a long-standing and legitimate registration. However, the lack of visible business details, privacy policies, or contact information on the landing page limits the ability to assess the company's market position or services. Technically, the site uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 and Google reCAPTCHA, but no advanced security headers or SEO optimizations are visible. The security posture shows basic bot protection but lacks comprehensive security best practices. Overall, the site is safe in terms of content but inaccessible for full evaluation due to the security challenge.

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

7 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 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';…

  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

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

Due to the security verification page, no direct business information, contact details, or service descriptions are accessible. The domain age and registrar suggest a legitimate business presence, but no further insights into market positioning, revenue streams, or partnerships can be derived from the current content. The site appears to be small in size and likely focused on pest control services in Nottingham, UK, based on the domain name, but this is not confirmed by the content.

Security posture

The website employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated bot access, indicating a basic security measure. However, no visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options are present in the HTML content. There is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The SSL/TLS configuration cannot be fully assessed from the provided data. The security score is moderate due to bot protection but limited by missing comprehensive security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and expose privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add visible contact information and business details on the website to enhance credibility.
  3. Deploy and verify security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  4. Provide incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to support security transparency.
  5. Review SSL/TLS configuration with external tools to ensure strong encryption and certificate validity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for styling and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. Hosting is provided by 20i Ltd, a reputable UK hosting provider. The HTML content is minimal and focused solely on the security verification challenge, with no SEO meta tags or structured data present. Mobile optimization is basic due to Bootstrap usage, but accessibility and SEO are poor given the lack of content and metadata. Performance cannot be fully assessed but is likely moderate given the minimal content. The site lacks CMS indicators or advanced frameworks.
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.
