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

Sandison Easson & Co. Accountants is a UK-based specialist accounting firm focusing on medical and dental professionals. Their website highlights chartered accounting services tailored for doctors across the UK, with offices in Wilmslow and London. The firm positions itself as a niche provider in healthcare accounting, targeting medical practitioners as their primary audience. The website content is professional and relevant to their business domain, though lacking in some compliance and contact details. Technically, the site uses modern web fonts and Google reCAPTCHA for form security, indicating a basic level of digital maturity. However, the absence of security headers and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in security posture and regulatory compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable and indicates registration issues, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website presentation. Overall, the site is functional and informative but would benefit from enhanced security, compliance, and transparency 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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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 healthcare sector, providing specialized accounting services to medical and dental professionals. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on a niche market segment within the UK. The firm likely generates revenue through professional accounting fees and consultancy. The website's market positioning as a specialist medical accountant differentiates it from generalist accounting firms. The presence of offices in multiple UK locations suggests a small but established operation. The lack of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website content. The firm’s digital presence is modest but targeted, with limited marketing or analytics tools detected.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, which are positive security practices. However, no security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, or HSTS were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the firm's readiness to handle security incidents. The WHOIS data is missing and flagged with an error, which could indicate domain registration issues or misconfiguration, posing a risk to domain ownership trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in headers, policies, and transparency to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen website security against common attacks.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve domain legitimacy.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security or incident response contacts to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web fonts (Font Awesome) and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, indicating some adoption of contemporary web technologies. The HTML content is well structured with appropriate meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile optimization appears good based on viewport meta tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident, and no advanced frameworks were detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of optimization or CDN usage. Accessibility features are basic, and no ARIA roles or landmarks were identified in the provided content. The site lacks structured data (JSON-LD) which could improve search engine understanding. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility and SEO practices.
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.
