Security report for sebmclauchlan.com

Seb McLauchlan Ltd · Other · United Kingdom

Partial score · DNS & email only

54/100

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

Seb McLauchlan Ltd is a small UK-based company with a minimal online presence primarily focused on providing contact information. The website lacks detailed business descriptions or service listings, suggesting a niche or boutique operation possibly in creative or design sectors. The technical infrastructure includes basic use of jQuery and Google Analytics, hosted by DreamHost, with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks comprehensive SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is weak due to absence of HTTPS on all resources, missing security headers, and no DNSSEC implementation. Privacy compliance is poor with no visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the website is functional but lacks professionalism and security maturity expected for modern business sites.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

NIS2 outside view
Not assessed
GDPR outside view
Not assessed

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention sebmclauchlan.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for sebmclauchlan.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 appears to be a small, possibly creative studio based in London, founded in 2015. The domain registration is consistent with the business timeline and location. There is no evidence of partnerships, subsidiaries, or certifications. The business model and market positioning are unclear due to minimal content. Contact details are clearly provided, indicating openness to communication. The lack of social media presence and marketing tools suggests limited digital marketing efforts. The use of Google Analytics indicates some user behavior tracking but without privacy disclosures. Growth indicators and revenue streams cannot be determined from the available data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low security maturity level. Key vulnerabilities include lack of HTTPS on all resources, absence of security headers, and no DNSSEC. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The use of third-party scripts over HTTP introduces potential risks. No forms or user inputs reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. GDPR compliance is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is insufficient for protecting user data or ensuring regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS site-wide including all external resources to ensure secure communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics loaded asynchronously. Hosting is provided by DreamHost, a reputable provider. The site lacks a CMS or modern frameworks, indicating a simple static or custom-coded site. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is basic but present. SEO and accessibility features are minimal, with no meta tags beyond title and viewport. External scripts are loaded over HTTP, which is a security risk. There is no evidence of technical debt but modernization opportunities include adopting HTTPS fully, improving SEO metadata, and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
