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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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

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 operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting accounting software users in the UK and Ireland. Their business model revolves around software development and customization services, generating revenue through product sales, bespoke solutions, and support contracts. The firm benefits from long-standing industry partnerships with Sage, Microsoft, and Claris, enhancing credibility and market reach. Their target customers are SMEs and mid-sized businesses requiring tailored integrations and productivity tools for Sage and Xero platforms. The acquisition by Kinrock suggests strategic growth and potential resource expansion. The website content and product portfolio indicate a focus on operational efficiency, compliance, and business intelligence, positioning Red IT Solutions as a niche leader with competitive advantages in customization and local support.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare services including Turnstile captcha to protect forms from automated abuse. Security headers are likely managed by Cloudflare, providing protection against common web vulnerabilities. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and form inputs have validation. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness perception. There is no visible contact for security incidents or abuse reporting. Overall, the security posture is good for a small technology firm but could be improved by publishing formal security documentation and incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add an incident response contact email or abuse reporting channel on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance trust signals by obtaining and displaying additional security certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and ES6 modules, and integrates third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Calendly for analytics and scheduling. Hosting and CDN services appear to be provided by Cloudflare, ensuring fast content delivery and security features. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clear navigation and structured content. Performance is fast, and SEO best practices are followed with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure is modern and robust, supporting the business's digital maturity and operational needs. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and compliance to further reduce technical debt and risks.
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.
