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

RW Armstrong is a UK-based company specializing in high-end construction, restoration, and master craftsmanship services primarily across London and the South of England. The company operates multiple complementary brands offering services including construction, master trades, joinery, cabinetry, fine furniture, and heritage conservation. Their clientele includes discerning private clients, architects, heritage trusts, and luxury hospitality venues. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on luxury and quality craftsmanship. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as GSAP, Swiper.js, and Usercentrics for cookie management. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics in place. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers could be improved and explicit privacy policies are missing. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable and indicates the domain name is invalid under Nominet UK rules, suggesting a possible misconfiguration or that the domain is a subdomain or alias rather than a registered domain. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front but would benefit from improved transparency in privacy and security policies.

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

8 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
    • 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

  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

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

RW Armstrong holds a strong market position in the luxury construction and craftsmanship sector within the UK, serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and professional design teams. Their inclusion in Country Life's Top 100 and features in The Times highlight their industry recognition. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering bespoke construction and restoration projects with an emphasis on quality and heritage. The company operates several subsidiaries or brands under its group umbrella, enhancing its service breadth. The website's lack of direct contact information and privacy policy may limit lead generation and compliance transparency. Partnerships with heritage organizations and sponsorship of craft scholarships indicate a commitment to industry leadership and social responsibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is a potential area for improvement. There is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The absence of explicit privacy policies and data protection officer contact details suggests partial GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, explicit privacy documentation, and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, processing, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  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. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Include verified company contact information (email and phone) on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including GSAP for animations, Swiper.js for sliders, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts with preconnect optimizations. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, likely due to large video assets and multiple third-party scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The domain's WHOIS data is missing or invalid, which may indicate a subdomain usage or misconfiguration. Hosting is provided by Webflow, a reputable provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced security configurations.
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.
