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

Quarry Cars operates a website focused on providing economical and high-performance vehicle solutions including car rental, leasing, traditional loans, and vehicle accessories. The site targets consumers seeking flexible and affordable vehicle options, including electric and commercial vehicles. The business model centers on vehicle financing and maintenance services, positioning itself as a niche provider in the UK transportation sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and jQuery, offering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers and privacy policies. The WHOIS data is incomplete and inconsistent due to querying the subdomain rather than the registered domain, slightly reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

8 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
    • 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

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  4. 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

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 targets a UK-based audience interested in vehicle leasing and financing, offering a range of services from traditional car loans to lease-option purchases and vehicle trade-ins. The website content suggests a small-sized business with a focus on customer assistance and vehicle customization. The lack of explicit contact information and certifications limits transparency. The use of WPML indicates multilingual support, potentially targeting broader European markets. The business model relies on flexible rental and financing options, appealing to budget-conscious consumers. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content or linked domains.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor privacy compliance. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts reduces privacy risks but also limits business intelligence. The WHOIS data query error raises minor concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in headers, policies, and transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including business emails and phone numbers to improve credibility and customer trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security incident response policy and contact channels to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It employs several Medialab Gutenberg blocks for enhanced content presentation and WPML for multilingual support. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs like Cloudflare and code.jquery.com. Performance is moderate with optimized images and structured content. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured content but could benefit from additional schema markup. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for the business needs but could be enhanced with better security and privacy features.
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.
