Risk levelMedium

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

The website at www.quadrantabs.co.uk is inaccessible, returning a 403 Forbidden error page with no content or metadata available. The domain itself is invalid according to the Nominet UK WHOIS data, which states the domain name contravenes naming rules and cannot be registered. Consequently, no business information, contact details, or technical infrastructure details can be derived from the site. The lack of accessible content and invalid domain status severely limits any meaningful analysis of the business or its digital presence. From a technical perspective, the site shows no signs of modern web technologies, security headers, or HTTPS configuration. The absence of any metadata, scripts, or external links further indicates the site is either misconfigured or non-existent. Security posture is very weak due to the lack of HTTPS and security headers, and the site is effectively blocked from public access. Given the domain is invalid and unregistered, the legitimacy of the website is highly questionable. There are no privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies present, and no contact or business information is available. Overall, the site presents a high risk of being non-legitimate or abandoned, and no trust indicators are present. Strategically, it is recommended to verify the domain registration status and correct any domain naming issues. If this is a legitimate business, they should ensure proper domain registration, configure HTTPS, and publish relevant business and security information to build trust and comply with privacy regulations.

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. 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

  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. 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

    • 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

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

No business intelligence can be derived due to the absence of accessible website content and invalid domain registration. There is no information on market positioning, business model, revenue streams, or partnerships. The domain's invalid status precludes any meaningful business presence or operations under this domain.

Security posture

The security posture is critically weak. The site is inaccessible with a 403 Forbidden error and lacks HTTPS and security headers. No privacy or security policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The invalid domain registration further undermines trust and security credibility. Immediate remediation is required to establish a secure and compliant web presence.

Recommendations

  1. Register a valid domain name compliant with Nominet UK naming rules.
  2. Configure HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure the website.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to comply with GDPR and build user trust.
  5. Ensure the website is accessible without 403 errors and includes clear business and contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website currently serves only a minimal 403 Forbidden error page with no metadata, scripts, or external resources. No CMS or frameworks are detected. The domain is invalid and unregistered, indicating no hosting or proper DNS configuration. Performance and accessibility cannot be assessed due to lack of content. The site requires complete technical setup including domain registration, hosting, HTTPS configuration, and content deployment.
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.
