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
    • 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. 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';…

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

Restore's business model focuses on integrated lifecycle services for data and IT assets, targeting sectors such as government, finance, and healthcare. Their competitive advantage lies in their scale, UK ownership, and sustainability certifications. Revenue streams likely include service contracts for document management, IT asset disposition, and shredding. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including its parent company Restore plc and dedicated career portals. Growth indicators include extensive site presence and digital transformation offerings. Strategic observations highlight their emphasis on security, compliance, and sustainability as key differentiators.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare bot management, and a comprehensive cookie consent framework. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly set in the HTML and should be verified server-side. Incident response contact information is not prominently displayed, which could be improved. The site complies with GDPR and other data protection regulations, supported by detailed privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify explicit security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and abuse contact channels on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure all forms include anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation.
  5. Maintain and promote sustainability and compliance certifications to strengthen trust.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery, Swiper for sliders, and Select2 for enhanced select inputs. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, HubSpot, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating advanced user behavior tracking and marketing capabilities. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses Cloudflare services for bot management and CDN. Technical risks are minimal but depend on maintaining updated plugins and scripts. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and streamline third-party integrations for performance gains.
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.
