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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

  4. 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 company targets residential and commercial customers in Sussex, offering a range of skip sizes and waste management solutions. Their business model focuses on direct service provision with online booking capabilities, supported by local delivery and permit handling. Certifications like ISO 14001 and memberships in industry bodies enhance credibility. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics to optimize customer engagement and operational efficiency. The domain registration date is newer than the founding date, suggesting a recent domain acquisition or rebranding, but this does not detract from the company's established market presence. Rabbit Waste Management maintains a strong community and sustainability focus, which is a competitive advantage in the waste management sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly configured, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The WordPress and WooCommerce platforms require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could be improved to enhance security transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to reduce risk of exploitation.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider adding data retention policies and transparency statements regarding analytics data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Gravity Forms for form management. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The Divi theme and child theme are used for design and layout, with custom CSS for branding consistency. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. The site uses external fonts from Google Fonts and loads scripts asynchronously to optimize loading times. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain is registered with a reputable registrar. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for security and accessibility 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.
