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

Pyramid Property Finance Limited is a small UK-based financial services company specializing in bespoke commercial and corporate finance solutions. The company leverages over 100 years of combined banking and accountancy experience to serve a national clientele from its Wolverhampton serviced offices. Key services include consultancy, commercial mortgages, property investment, equity funding, and treasury management. The website content is professional but basic, lacking modern design elements and mobile optimization. Technically, the site uses simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without advanced frameworks or CMS, and no analytics or tracking scripts are detected. Security posture is weak due to absence of HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies, which poses risks for user trust and compliance. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance credibility and user experience.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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 company operates in the finance and real estate sectors, targeting businesses of various sizes seeking commercial finance solutions. Its business model focuses on consultancy and brokerage services tailored to complex financial transactions including MBOs and succession planning. Market positioning is niche with a strong emphasis on expertise and bespoke service. The absence of detailed contact information and certifications on the website limits trust signals. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed. Growth potential exists but is constrained by the website's limited digital maturity and lack of transparency in registrant data.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. Critical issues include lack of HTTPS, absence of security headers, and no visible privacy or cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing immediate data protection risks, but the lack of secure transport and policies undermines overall security posture. There is no evidence of security certifications or frameworks adoption. Immediate remediation is recommended to implement SSL/TLS, security headers, and privacy compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all site traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  4. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve website design for mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without use of modern frameworks or CMS platforms. No analytics or tracking technologies are detected, indicating minimal data collection. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, which may impact usability. Performance appears moderate but could not be fully assessed. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not available. The site would benefit from modernization including responsive design, SEO enhancements, and integration of security best practices to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
