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

Piranha AV is a UK-based company specializing in advanced audio visual solutions tailored for sectors including public sector, visitor attractions, education, churches, and corporate environments. Their services encompass AV system design, installation, integration, maintenance, upgrades, and repairs, aiming to make technology seamless and accessible. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with customer testimonials and case studies highlighting their expertise and reliability. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js, and integrates marketing and review tools like Klaviyo and REVIEWS.io. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy or incident response policies. WHOIS data is unavailable or invalid, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy in content, but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

5 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 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

  3. 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

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

Piranha AV positions itself as a trusted AV solutions provider in the UK market, focusing on niche sectors that require specialized AV technology such as emergency services, education, and religious institutions. Their business model is B2B, offering end-to-end AV services from design to maintenance. The presence of verified customer reviews and detailed case studies suggests a strong customer-centric approach and a reputation for quality. The company leverages digital marketing tools for customer engagement but lacks visible certifications or formal compliance statements. The absence of WHOIS data may indicate domain management issues or subdomain usage, which should be clarified for trust enhancement. The company appears small but well-established within its niche, with growth potential through enhanced digital trust and security practices.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, indicating basic encryption for data in transit. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The use of third-party scripts like Klaviyo and REVIEWS.io introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard security headers, formal privacy and cookie policies, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add an incident response page with contact details for security issues and vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It integrates marketing and review widgets from Klaviyo and REVIEWS.io, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with no explicit performance metrics but no obvious blocking issues. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA roles and alt attributes present but no advanced accessibility enhancements detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and canonical URLs. Technical risks include missing security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts without visible integrity checks or CSP enforcement.
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.
