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

RAFT Solutions Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in sustainable livestock production through research, advanced breeding, consultancy, and training services. Established in 2010, the company serves farmers, veterinarians, and industry professionals with a focus on innovation and sustainability. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand with clear navigation and relevant content. Technically, the site uses an ASP.NET Web Forms CMS with common JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is moderate with some best practices like reCAPTCHA and cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which poses risks. The WHOIS data for the domain queried is unavailable due to domain naming errors, indicating a possible misconfiguration or use of a different registered domain. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved security measures and domain registration clarity.

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

3 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

  2. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

RAFT Solutions operates in a niche market of sustainable livestock production, leveraging research partnerships and practical services. Their competitive advantage lies in combining academic research with field applications and training programs. The business model is service-oriented, targeting livestock farmers and industry stakeholders. The presence of partner organizations like XL Vets indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The company maintains active social media channels and provides clear contact information, supporting customer engagement and trust. Growth indicators include diversified service offerings and award-winning training programs. However, domain registration inconsistencies could impact credibility if not addressed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and the use of an outdated jQuery version introduce vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency. GDPR compliance is indicated through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in security culture and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data consistency and improve trustworthiness.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with a custom CMS, utilizing common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.9.1, Slick Carousel, and Magnific Popup. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by updating legacy scripts and optimizing assets. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but modernization and security upgrades are recommended to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
