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

Phillips Joinery Ltd is a well-established bespoke joinery manufacturer based in the United Kingdom with over 50 years of experience. The company specializes in high-quality timber joinery products including doors, windows, staircases, gates, and bespoke timber structures, serving commercial, trade, and private clients. Their market position is strong, supported by multiple industry certifications and a loyal repeat customer base. The website reflects a professional business with clear service offerings and trust indicators such as certifications and testimonials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern analytics tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting details are limited but the domain is registered with a reputable registrar, Ionos SE. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and does not publish a security policy or incident response information. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with privacy and cookie policies present, but no active cookie consent mechanism is detected. User tracking is moderate due to analytics scripts. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a solid business foundation and good digital maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy consent mechanisms, and incident response transparency would enhance the security posture and compliance standing.

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
    • 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 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

Phillips Joinery Ltd operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on bespoke timber joinery products. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing reputation, comprehensive certifications, and ability to deliver tailor-made joinery solutions. The business model includes full-service offerings from survey to installation, targeting commercial, trade, and private customers primarily in the UK. Growth indicators include a 50-year history, repeat client base, and sustainability commitments. Partnerships with certification bodies and industry organizations strengthen their market credibility. The company maintains two workshops and dedicated installation teams, indicating operational scale and capacity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. There is no public security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. Privacy compliance is partial; cookie and privacy policies exist but lack active consent mechanisms. Analytics tracking is implemented, indicating moderate user tracking. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  2. Add a visible and accessible security policy and incident response information page with dedicated contact channels.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet best practices.

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.
