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

6 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. Network security

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

    • 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

  3. 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';…

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 organization operates in the non-profit social care sector, targeting individuals seeking personalized support and professionals looking for employment in social care roles. Their business model revolves around delivering tailored support services and maintaining a workforce of support practitioners. The presence of multiple policies, statutory accounts, and certifications such as OSCAR and Scottish Engineering logos indicate a mature governance structure and compliance culture. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized organization with a regional focus. Their partnership with Microsoft SharePoint for staff portal access indicates integration with enterprise collaboration tools. The organization maintains active social media channels to engage with stakeholders and promote transparency. Growth indicators include ongoing recruitment and regular news updates. The business ecosystem appears stable with no suspicious affiliations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from automated abuse. Domain status flags clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited enhance domain security by preventing unauthorized transfers or updates. However, the absence of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism complies with GDPR requirements, and privacy policies are comprehensive. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize risk from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for spam protection. The front-end uses jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive elements and Font Awesome for iconography. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs such as jsDelivr and Google Fonts, contributing to performance and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images to improve load times. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image delivery and reducing third-party script impact. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registration is via Tucows Domains Inc. The website demonstrates good SEO practices with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search visibility. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and accessibility improvements are recommended to future-proof the platform.
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.
