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

Restore Datashred Limited operates as a leading secure shredding and data destruction service provider in the UK, recently expanding its network through acquisition. The company targets UK businesses and organizations requiring compliant and secure document disposal solutions. Their market position is strong within the secure shredding sector, offering on-site shredding and nationwide coverage. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, supported by AWS hosting and Cloudflare services. The site demonstrates good digital maturity with mobile optimization, accessibility features, and comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, bot management, and cookie consent, though explicit security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues is a notable concern but does not detract from the professional presentation and operational legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-designed, and compliant with GDPR requirements.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Restore Datashred's acquisition of Shred-On-Site indicates strategic growth and consolidation in the secure shredding market. Their business model focuses on service delivery to corporate and institutional clients, emphasizing compliance and security. The company leverages partnerships and digital marketing tools such as HubSpot and Trustpilot to enhance customer engagement and reputation. The presence of multiple analytics and tracking tools suggests a data-driven approach to marketing and user experience optimization. The company maintains a consistent brand identity across digital channels and social media platforms, supporting strong market visibility. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data may warrant further investigation for due diligence purposes.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare bot management cookies, indicating proactive security measures. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site uses HubSpot forms with validation and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Incident response contact information and security policies are not prominently available, which could be improved to demonstrate security readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header policies and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Enhance visibility and accessibility of security policies and incident response contacts on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure all forms include anti-CSRF tokens and secure input validation.
  5. Investigate and resolve the domain WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Understrap child theme, integrating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. Hosting is likely on AWS, supported by Cloudflare services for bot management and CDN. The site includes Google Tag Manager, HubSpot forms, Trustpilot widgets, and CookieYes for consent management, indicating a mature marketing and compliance infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
