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

Scollen & Wright Funeral Service Ltd is a small, family-owned funeral service provider based in Sunderland, UK, with over 30 years of local business history. The company offers funeral arrangement services, funeral plans, and memorial items, targeting local families in need of compassionate funeral care. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing their independent and family-run nature. The business positions itself as a trusted local service with clear contact channels and a focus on personalized support during difficult times. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several popular plugins for SEO, performance, and security, including Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms. The site is mobile-optimized and provides good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and anti-spam measures, though it lacks some advanced security headers. Privacy compliance is addressed with a GDPR cookie banner and a privacy policy page.

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

6 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. 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. 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 funeral services sector, focusing on local customers in Sunderland and surrounding areas. Their business model is direct service provision with a family-owned approach, avoiding faceless corporate structures. Revenue streams likely include funeral arrangements, prepaid funeral plans (via Golden Charter), and sales of memorial items. The website indicates a stable market position with 30 years of operation, suggesting established local trust. Partnerships include Golden Charter for funeral plans and Inventis for website design. The company emphasizes accessibility with 24-hour phone lines and multiple branch locations. Growth indicators are not explicit but the consistent branding and online presence suggest ongoing business activity. The company does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies. The website content and structure support a professional and trustworthy image.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA protects the contact form from spam. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The WHOIS data absence is a concern but likely due to domain registration technicalities rather than malicious intent. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could improve with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement advanced HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Divi theme, supported by plugins such as Rank Math SEO, WP Rocket caching, Contact Form 7, and Cookie Law Info for GDPR compliance. It uses jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA for enhanced user interaction and spam protection. Performance is moderate with prefetching and caching optimizations. The site is mobile responsive and accessible at a basic level. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and structured JSON-LD data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses external resources from Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and Gravatar. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and incident response documentation are recommended to reduce operational 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.
