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

The website pct1constable.net represents the Harris County Constable's Office Precinct 1, a government law enforcement entity serving residents and visitors of Harris County, Texas. The site provides detailed information about the office's mission, divisions, community programs, and contact information, positioning itself as a trusted local public safety resource. The business model is that of a government service provider focused on law enforcement and community engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Security headers are partially implemented, but modern TLS protocols and HSTS are missing, exposing the site to potential risks. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no consent mechanisms, despite the use of tracking technologies. Overall, the site is functional and informative but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy to meet modern standards.

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. 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 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

    • 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
  • 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 Harris County Precinct 1 Constable's Office operates as a government law enforcement agency with a mature domain age of 12 years, indicating stability and established presence. The website targets local residents and visitors, offering services such as civil process, patrol, crime prevention, and community outreach. The office maintains active social media channels to engage the community and disseminate information. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and safety. The site’s content quality and branding are consistent and professional, supporting trustworthiness. The domain registration is consistent with the website's claims, using Harris County name servers and a reputable registrar. There are no suspicious patterns or privacy protections that would raise concerns about legitimacy.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability for any modern website. While some security headers like X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and X-Content-Type-Options are present, the lack of TLS protocols, HSTS, and OCSP stapling reduces the overall security effectiveness. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which is a positive control. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators are detected, but the outdated PHP version and missing encryption expose the site to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Privacy compliance gaps, such as missing privacy and cookie policies, further weaken the security and compliance posture. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found, indicating limited readiness for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR compliance statements if applicable.
  4. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking technologies.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  6. Establish an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  7. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any outdated or vulnerable components, including PHP version upgrade.
  8. Improve accessibility features and performance optimization to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using PHP 7.4.8 and Apache server. It employs popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder for layout, Slider Revolution for interactive sliders, and Contact Form 7 for forms with Google reCAPTCHA integration. Google Analytics is implemented via MonsterInsights plugin with event and scroll tracking. The site uses multiple external resources including fonts from Google Fonts and social media widgets. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating potential slow loading or measurement issues. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. Hosting appears to be managed by Harris County or Network Solutions based on DNS and registrar data. The technical stack is modern but requires updates to PHP and SSL configuration to meet current security standards.
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.
