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

Red Wellies Childcare Limited operates a children's day nursery located in Nantwich, UK, offering outdoor play and a teacher-led curriculum with a focus on child nutrition. The website is professionally designed using the Wix platform, targeting parents and guardians seeking childcare services in the local area. The business positions itself as a local childcare provider emphasizing quality education and nutrition. Technically, the website leverages Wix's infrastructure and standard web technologies, providing a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, raising questions about domain legitimacy, though the site content is accessible and relevant. Overall, the security posture is basic, with recommendations to enhance security headers, privacy policies, and incident response readiness to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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. 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

      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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 education sector, specifically early childhood care and nursery services. Its business model focuses on providing day nursery services with an emphasis on outdoor activities and nutrition, targeting local families in Nantwich and surrounding areas. The website content and structured data indicate a small-sized business with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The company maintains a professional online presence but lacks visible partnerships or certifications. Growth potential may be supported by clear communication of services and local market focus. The absence of privacy and security policies may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture. HTTPS is presumably enabled (though not explicitly confirmed in the data), but no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures, incident response contacts, or security certifications. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No forms or user input fields were found, reducing immediate risk from input-based attacks, but third-party scripts from Wix are present. The WHOIS data absence and domain registration error are concerning from a trust perspective. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing security best practices, privacy compliance measures, and clear incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and enforce HTTPS across the entire site to secure data in transit.
  4. Establish and publish incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing Wix's proprietary scripts and hosting infrastructure. The technology stack includes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and business information. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features but lacks advanced SEO and security configurations. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by Wix's hosting and asset delivery. There is no evidence of custom backend frameworks or CMS beyond Wix. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance documents indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Opportunities exist to modernize security posture and enhance user trust through improved technical controls.
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.
