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

Quaypoint Security is a well-established locksmith business based in Newry, Northern Ireland, with over 27 years of industry experience. The company offers a comprehensive range of locksmith and security services including key cutting, domestic, commercial, automotive locksmith services, access control systems, and safes. Their market position is that of a trusted local locksmith serving customers across the UK and Ireland, supported by positive Google reviews and partnerships with reputable clients. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Bootstrap frameworks, with SEO optimizations and moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks security headers and DNSSEC, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business profile, showing legitimacy and no privacy protection, which is appropriate for this business type.

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. 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

  2. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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 business operates primarily in the retail sector, focusing on locksmith and security services. It targets residential and commercial customers in the UK and Ireland, leveraging a physical store in Newry and an online presence. The company benefits from long-standing industry experience and trusted client relationships, as evidenced by client logos and verified Google reviews. The business model is service-oriented with direct customer engagement. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The company uses digital marketing tools like Yoast SEO and Google Analytics to support growth and visibility. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized security brands and local organizations, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data detected. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also reflects compliance gaps. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to the web server configuration.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good SEO practices. It integrates Google Analytics and Matomo for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile optimized. However, there is no evidence of advanced accessibility features beyond basic compliance. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS points to wpdns.host name servers. The site uses Yoast SEO plugin for metadata management and structured data is implemented via JSON-LD for enhanced search engine understanding. There are no visible forms in the provided content, reducing attack surface from input vulnerabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
