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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mx1.mail.timico.net

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory
    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mx2.mail.timico.net

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  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. 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"

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.

Business context

Business profile

SCL Interiors occupies a solid position in the interior fit-out market, leveraging long-standing industry experience and recognized certifications to attract commercial and institutional clients. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive interior solutions across multiple sectors, enabling them to handle projects ranging from modest office fit-outs to large-scale student accommodation developments. The company benefits from partnerships with leading European manufacturers and maintains a visible presence through client logos and project showcases. Their digital presence is professional but could be enhanced with stronger privacy and security policies to meet evolving regulatory standards. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and security headers suggests potential compliance gaps. The company’s growth potential is supported by a diverse client base and sector coverage, though strategic improvements in digital security and privacy could further strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure contact forms implemented via Contact Form 7. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates missed opportunities to harden the site against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness visibility. The absence of a cookie consent banner raises GDPR compliance concerns, especially given the use of tracking technologies like Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhanced headers, privacy mechanisms, and published security policies to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve site security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility features to broaden user reach and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.8.13, utilizing common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Yoast SEO, supported by jQuery 2.2.4 and GSAP TweenMax for animations. The tech stack is modern but could be updated to newer versions for improved security and performance. The site loads with moderate speed and includes proper meta tags and SEO optimizations, contributing to good search engine visibility. Mobile responsiveness is basic, indicating potential for enhancement. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed. The site uses external resources from reputable domains including Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and CDN services. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but has room for modernization and optimization.
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.
