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

Robbie Richards operates a professional SEO consultancy and training website focused on delivering actionable SEO tutorials, training, and speaking engagements. The site targets SEO professionals, marketers, and business owners seeking to improve their SEO skills and business growth. The business model centers on consultancy and educational content marketing, positioning Robbie Richards as a niche expert in the SEO industry. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular SEO and visual editor plugins, indicating a mature digital infrastructure with good SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness. However, the absence of WHOIS data and lack of visible security headers or privacy policies suggest areas for improvement in transparency and security posture. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures.

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

7 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

  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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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

The website serves a small-sized business entity in the technology sector, specifically SEO consultancy and training. It leverages content marketing through blogging and social media to engage its target audience. The business appears to maintain a strong personal brand with consistent branding and high-quality content. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The lack of WHOIS data and contact information limits deeper business verification. The site does not appear to use extensive advertising or tracking technologies, focusing instead on organic reach and professional reputation.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but incomplete. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no evidence of incident response contacts or security policies, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The site should implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and provide incident response contacts to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add visible contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Ensure WHOIS domain registration data is accurate and publicly available or justified by privacy protection.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Yoast SEO and Thrive Visual Editor plugins, indicating a modern and SEO-optimized platform. It uses Google Fonts for typography and preloads key images for performance. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. No advanced frameworks beyond WordPress plugins were detected. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from enhanced performance tuning and accessibility improvements.
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.
