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

Public-i Group Ltd is a well-established provider specializing in live streaming, remote and hybrid meetings, audio-visual solutions, and event webcasting primarily for local government entities in the United Kingdom. With over two decades of experience since its founding in 2000, Public-i has positioned itself as a market leader offering comprehensive, scalable, and integrated solutions that enhance meeting accessibility, transparency, and engagement. Their product suite includes Connect Webcasting, HybridLink, SpaceManager, CameraControl, and Connect Remote, all designed to streamline meeting management and digital audience reach. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform utilizing popular plugins and libraries such as WPBakery Page Builder, jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, reCAPTCHA integration, and comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms, contributing to a strong security posture. The security evaluation reveals a robust implementation of best practices, including secure forms, no exposed sensitive data, and use of recognized certifications like ISO 9001 and Cyber Essentials. However, the absence of a public incident response page and security.txt file suggests areas for improvement in transparency and vulnerability management. Overall, Public-i presents a professional, trustworthy, and compliant online presence with clear contact channels, detailed policies, and strong trust indicators. The domain registration details align well with the business claims, reinforcing legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing vulnerability disclosure, publishing incident response procedures, and continuous monitoring of third-party integrations to maintain security and compliance.

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

4 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 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. 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

  3. Network security

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

    • 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

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

Public-i operates in the niche market of local government meeting solutions, leveraging a B2B model focused on providing technology and services that facilitate live and hybrid meetings. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized product offerings that integrate with widely used platforms like Microsoft Teams and Modern.Gov, enabling seamless meeting management and public engagement. Revenue streams likely include hardware sales, software subscriptions, and service contracts for installation and support. The company targets local councils, unions, and associations, emphasizing accessibility and compliance. Their partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and certification bodies, enhancing credibility and market reach. The presence of detailed case studies and client testimonials indicates a strong customer-centric approach and ongoing growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot activity, and comprehensive cookie consent management via Cookiebot ensuring GDPR compliance. The presence of multiple certifications such as ISO 9001 and Cyber Essentials further underscores their commitment to security standards. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a publicly accessible incident response page or security.txt file indicates a potential gap in transparency and readiness for security incidents. Data protection practices appear robust, with clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture is proactive but could benefit from enhanced incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response page detailing procedures and contact points.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance monitoring and logging of form submissions to detect and prevent abuse.
  5. Maintain and promote certifications and compliance efforts to strengthen trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for interactive elements. It uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The site employs Autoptimize for performance optimization. The technical infrastructure supports responsive design and accessibility features, ensuring usability across devices. While performance is moderate, there is room for improvement in loading speed and optimization. The use of IndexedDB and local storage for caching and session management reflects modern web practices. No significant technical debt or risks were identified, but continuous updates and security patches are essential to maintain operational integrity.
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.
