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

Rock Solid Knowledge is a UK-based technology company specializing in secure Umbraco CMS, web, and mobile development services. Established since 2009, the company positions itself as a trusted partner delivering scalable, ethical, and sustainable digital solutions. They hold multiple certifications including Certified B Corporation™, Umbraco Gold Partner status, and Cyber Essentials Certified Plus, underscoring their commitment to quality and security. Their client base includes notable organizations across various sectors, reflecting a strong market presence. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Umbraco CMS, IdentityServer, and OpenIddict, supported by Alpine.js and HubSpot analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with a professional design and clear navigation. Security practices include HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, although explicit security headers are not evident in the provided data. The security posture is strong with ongoing maintenance and updates emphasized, but the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is a gap. WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the website's trust signals and certifications mitigate this risk. Overall, Rock Solid Knowledge presents a mature, professional digital presence with a solid security foundation and ethical business practices. Strategic improvements in security policy transparency and WHOIS data clarity would enhance trust further.

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

1 finding 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

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

Rock Solid Knowledge operates as a specialized service provider in the technology sector, focusing on web and mobile development with a niche in Umbraco CMS and identity management solutions. Their business model revolves around long-term partnerships, offering scalable and secure digital platforms. The company benefits from strong industry certifications and partnerships, which enhance their competitive advantage. Their target customers are businesses and organizations requiring secure, reliable, and ethical digital solutions. The presence of case studies and client logos indicates a healthy client portfolio and growth trajectory. Their ecosystem includes partnerships with IdentityServer and OpenIddict, expanding their service offerings into identity and access management. The company’s ethical stance as a Certified B Corporation aligns with growing market demand for socially responsible businesses.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism that supports GDPR compliance. The company emphasizes security as a foundational aspect of their service delivery, including regular updates and patches post-launch. Certifications such as Cyber Essentials Certified Plus and FIDO Alliance membership further attest to their security focus. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of a published security policy or incident response contact are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The WHOIS data absence is a concern but may be due to privacy protection. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS privacy protection is justified and transparent to improve trust.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy transparency regarding data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack centered around Umbraco CMS, with integrations for identity management via IdentityServer and OpenIddict. Frontend technologies include Alpine.js for interactivity and Prism.js for code highlighting. Analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager are used for data collection and user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading of images and preloading of critical assets. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable digital presence, though adding explicit security headers and improving WHOIS transparency would reduce technical 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.
