Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.redshank-it.co.uk is currently inaccessible as a functional business site and instead serves a 404 error page indicating the requested page does not exist. The domain WHOIS lookup failed due to an invalid domain format, suggesting the domain is not properly registered or active. No business information, contact details, or privacy/security policies are present on the site, which severely limits the ability to assess the company or its operations. The site appears to be a placeholder or misconfigured domain with minimal technical implementation limited to basic HTML and Google Fonts usage. From a technical perspective, the site lacks modern security headers, HTTPS confirmation, and any analytics or tracking technologies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The site’s design is basic and only serves an error message, with no navigation or content relevant to business or user engagement. Security posture is poor due to the lack of HTTPS information and security headers, combined with the invalid domain registration status. There are no indications of incident response readiness, certifications, or vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the site presents a high risk for trust and credibility, and it is not suitable for business or customer interaction in its current state. Strategic recommendations include proper domain registration, implementation of HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, addition of privacy and cookie policies, inclusion of contact and business legitimacy information, and enhancement of security headers and compliance measures to improve trustworthiness and user experience.

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

11 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. 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
  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 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention redshank-it.co.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for redshank-it.co.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Due to the absence of any business content or metadata, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain is invalid per WHOIS, and the website only displays a 404 error page with no company information, services, or market positioning. There are no indications of partnerships, subsidiaries, or revenue streams. The site does not target any customer segments and lacks any growth or operational indicators.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is critically weak. The domain is not properly registered, which is a fundamental trust issue. No HTTPS or SSL information is available, and no security headers are detected. The site lacks privacy and cookie policies, indicating non-compliance with GDPR. There is no evidence of incident response mechanisms or vulnerability disclosures. The absence of contact information and security best practices further exacerbates the risk. Overall, the site is not secure or trustworthy for business or user interaction.

Recommendations

  1. Register a valid domain name compliant with Nominet UK rules.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure communications.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  4. Publish clear contact information and business legitimacy details.
  5. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses minimal technical infrastructure, primarily static HTML with Google Fonts integration. No CMS, frameworks, or analytics tools are detected. The site is mobile responsive with basic CSS styling but lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features. Hosting provider and platform details are not discernible. Performance is moderate given the minimal content. The site is essentially a placeholder 404 error page with no dynamic content or user interaction capabilities.
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.
