Security score

59/100

Risk levelMedium

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

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.

  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. 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 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';…
  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

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

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

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

  1. Obtain a valid domain registration compliant with Nominet UK naming rules to establish legitimacy.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  4. Publish clear contact information including company emails, phone numbers, and physical address.
  5. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance security.

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.
