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

Silver Shield Windscreens is a UK-based company specializing in automotive glass repair and replacement services, including windscreen repairs, replacements, fleet services, specialist glazing, and ADAS recalibration. The company targets fleet owners, business owners, and private vehicle owners across England and Wales, emphasizing quality service at competitive prices with trained technicians and insurance claim support. The website presents a professional image with clear contact details and service descriptions. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.3 and Modernizr 2.6.2, alongside Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible modern security headers and uses an outdated JavaScript library, which may pose security risks. Performance is moderate, and SEO practices are adequately implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from external scripts loaded via HTTPS), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. The cookie consent banner and privacy policies indicate GDPR compliance efforts, though no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules violation, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the website content is consistent with a legitimate business. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and security improvements, including updating libraries, implementing security headers, and clarifying domain registration status to enhance trust and compliance.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  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"

    • 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';…

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

Silver Shield Windscreens operates in the transportation sector, focusing on automotive glass repair and replacement services with a strong emphasis on fleet customers and business owners. Their competitive advantage lies in offering NVQ Level 3 trained technicians, 24/7 service availability, and insurance claim facilitation. The business model is service-oriented with national coverage in the UK and Ireland, targeting both private and commercial vehicle owners. The company maintains a modest online presence with limited social media engagement (Facebook) and no detected partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators include a focus on specialist services such as ADAS recalibration and fleet glazing. The website content and structure support a professional image but lack advanced digital marketing or e-commerce capabilities.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but has notable gaps. The absence of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities. The website employs HTTPS for secure communication and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data anomaly regarding domain registration raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls, updated libraries, and clear security policies to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported and secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Verify and resolve domain registration issues with Nominet to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid potential trust issues.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  5. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication with researchers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy technology stack with jQuery 1.8.3 and Modernizr 2.6.2, which are outdated and may pose security risks. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. The site loads CSS from Google Fonts and uses CookieConsent 3.1.0 for GDPR compliance. The HTML structure is valid with meta tags for SEO and responsive design. Performance is moderate with no explicit hosting provider identified. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. No CMS or modern frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site. The lack of security headers and outdated libraries indicate technical debt and modernization opportunities to improve 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.
