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

Prestige Roofing Ltd is a well-established roofing company based in London, providing residential and commercial roofing services including new roof installations, re-roofing, emergency repairs, and cladding installation. The company has over 40 years of experience and holds reputable certifications such as Which? Trusted Trader and membership in the Guild of Master Craftsmen, positioning it as a trusted service provider in its market segment. The website reflects a professional business with clear service offerings and customer testimonials supporting its credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including popular plugins for analytics, forms, and sliders. It uses HTTPS and has moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, some security best practices such as security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could be improved to enhance compliance and security posture. Security-wise, the site shows no immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, which limits domain trust verification, but the website content and certifications provide compensating trust signals. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with moderate technical maturity and a good security baseline. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening are recommended to further strengthen the company's digital presence and trustworthiness.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Prestige Roofing operates in the real estate services sector, focusing on roofing and cladding solutions for residential and commercial clients primarily in London and surrounding areas. The company leverages certifications and trusted trader status to differentiate itself in a competitive market. Its business model is service-oriented with direct customer engagement through phone, email, and online contact forms. The presence of customer testimonials and insurance coverage enhances its market credibility. The company appears to be small-sized with a focused regional market. The website's integration of analytics and marketing tools suggests an interest in digital engagement and growth. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and incident response contact information indicates gaps in privacy compliance and incident readiness. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data unavailability is a concern for domain legitimacy verification but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be enhanced with standard best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying additional certifications or trust seals to further enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.7.15 with a combination of popular plugins such as Revolution Slider, Contact Form 7, and MonsterInsights for analytics. The use of jQuery 3.5.1 and other JavaScript libraries supports interactive features. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with some optimization possible. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are properly implemented. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and security. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
