The website www.shirescranehire.co.uk appears to represent a small business likely involved in crane hire or construction services, hosted on the Wix platform. However, the domain WHOIS lookup failed due to a naming rules violation, indicating the domain may be invalid or improperly registered. The website content is minimal, lacking clear business descriptions, contact information, or privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses standard Wix scripts and polyfills but lacks visible security headers or HTTPS status information. The absence of privacy compliance and contact details further reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site exhibits a low security posture and limited digital maturity, with significant gaps in compliance and business credibility.

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.
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
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
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Due to the lack of detailed content and absence of business information, it is difficult to ascertain the company's market position, competitive advantages, or business model. The site targets a general audience possibly seeking crane hire services in the UK, but no clear value propositions or service details are provided. The absence of contact emails, phone numbers, or social media links limits customer engagement and trust. No partnerships or certifications are evident. The business appears to be small and possibly newly established or not fully operational online.
Security posture
The website lacks visible security headers and there is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or SSL certificate status. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor compliance with GDPR or other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The WHOIS data is unavailable and indicates domain registration issues, which is a significant red flag. Overall, the security posture is weak, exposing the business to potential risks and undermining user trust.
Recommendations
Obtain a valid domain registration compliant with Nominet UK naming rules to establish legitimacy.
Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
Publish clear contact information including company emails, phone numbers, and physical address.
Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security.
Site observations
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
WHOIS data unavailable due to domain naming rules violation.
Website is built on Wix platform with standard Wix scripts and polyfills.
No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found.
No contact emails, phone numbers, or social media links detected.
No security headers or HTTPS status information available.
Website content is minimal and lacks business or security information.
No analytics or advertising scripts detected beyond Wix platform resources.
No evidence of WAF or security blocking mechanisms.
Overall website quality and trustworthiness are low due to minimal content and domain registration issues.
Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the Wix platform using standard Wix JavaScript libraries and polyfills for browser compatibility. The site loads resources from Wix's CDN and unpkg.com for polyfills. Performance appears moderate but cannot be fully assessed due to limited content. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are basic, with no advanced SEO optimizations detected. The site lacks modern security practices such as security headers and HTTPS enforcement. Technical debt is likely low given the use of a managed platform but the domain registration issue is a critical risk.
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.
