Risk levelMedium

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

The website polden-puckham.org.uk currently presents a security verification page that blocks direct access to its main content. This page uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to verify visitors are not bots, indicating the presence of a Web Application Firewall or similar security mechanism. Due to this, no business-specific content, contact information, or policies are accessible for analysis. The domain is registered since 2001 with 20i Ltd, suggesting a legitimate and long-standing registration. However, the lack of accessible content limits the ability to assess the company's market position or services. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5.3.3 and Google reCAPTCHA, but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance indicators. Overall, the site’s security posture benefits from bot protection but requires improvements in transparency and compliance once content is accessible.

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 content being blocked by a security verification page, no direct business intelligence can be extracted. The domain age and registrar suggest a stable presence, but no information on market positioning, business model, or partnerships is available. The absence of contact details and policies limits trust and credibility from a business perspective.

Security posture

The website employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated access, which is a positive security control. However, no other security headers or policies are visible, and SSL configuration details are not provided. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found. The security score is moderate but could be improved by adding comprehensive security headers, enforcing HTTPS, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to enhance protection.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information and incident response contacts to support transparency and security readiness.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configuration.
  5. Review and improve SEO and accessibility features to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for styling and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. Hosting is provided by 20i Ltd, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The page is mobile responsive and uses modern frontend libraries. However, the site lacks SEO meta tags, accessibility enhancements, and visible security headers. Performance is moderate given the minimal content. The presence of a security verification page indicates a protective layer but also limits content accessibility and analysis.
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.
