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

Procure Plus Holdings Limited is a UK-based not-for-profit organization specializing in social housing procurement frameworks. Established in 2020, it serves public sector housing providers and contractors by delivering value through equitable supply chain partnerships and community-focused employment initiatives. The company positions itself as a leader in social housing procurement with a strong emphasis on social value and community impact. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by industry accreditations and case studies that reinforce trust and credibility. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries, offering good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and GDPR compliance, though there is room for improvement in security headers and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or data source limitations, but the website's professionalism mitigates immediate trust issues. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and technical maturity.

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

2 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.

    • 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

  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

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

Procure Plus operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on social housing procurement frameworks that integrate social value and community benefits. Their business model leverages partnerships with housing providers and contractors to create sustainable employment and training opportunities. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a clear target audience in the UK public housing sector. Their competitive advantage lies in combining procurement expertise with social impact initiatives, supported by recognized accreditations and a subsidiary focused on women in manual trades. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with ongoing engagement through news, events, and case studies. Strategic partnerships and a focus on transparency and data-driven improvement further strengthen their market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and secure form handling. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency on how security incidents are managed. The use of third-party scripts like Voiceflow and Contentsquare introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear incident response and security policy documentation on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance WHOIS domain registration transparency or verify domain registration status to improve trust and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, and AOS for animations. SEO is managed via the Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. The site includes GDPR compliance features with cookie consent management and privacy preference centers. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and deferred script loading, contributing to good mobile optimization and accessibility. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and incident response visibility to reduce technical risk.
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.
