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

Simon James Executive is a UK-based small business specializing in executive and corporate transport services, including airport transfers, luxury taxis, and chauffeur-driven vehicles. The company emphasizes professional service with a fleet of Mercedes Benz vehicles and targets corporate clients and private customers seeking high-quality transport solutions. The website is built using Adobe Muse and includes integration with Google Analytics and Twitter widgets, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the technical infrastructure shows signs of aging, such as the use of outdated jQuery and lack of HTTPS enforcement. Security posture is weak with no visible security headers or privacy policies, exposing potential risks. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, which negatively impacts trust and legitimacy assessments. Overall, the business appears credible and professional, but the website requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

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

9 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

The company operates in the transportation sector, focusing on executive travel services in Manchester, UK. It maintains a fleet of luxury vehicles and serves blue chip clients, indicating a stable market position within a niche segment. The business model is service-oriented, charging competitive rates comparable to hackney carriages but offering chauffeur-level service. The website content is consistent and professional, supporting the company's branding and market positioning. However, the lack of detailed business registration information and absence of contact emails limit transparency. The partnership with theKingCat.com for site design suggests reliance on external vendors for digital presence. Growth opportunities may exist by enhancing online presence, improving security, and expanding digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or modern security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security policy information are absent, reducing preparedness for security events. The WHOIS data is incomplete due to domain registration issues, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site requires urgent security upgrades including HTTPS implementation, library updates, security headers, and privacy compliance measures to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with HSTS to secure all website traffic.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish and publish incident response contact information and security policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Adobe Muse with jQuery 1.8.3 and Google Analytics for tracking. The design is professional but somewhat dated, with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS or modern frameworks detected. Performance is moderate but could be improved with updated technologies and HTTPS. The site lacks structured data (JSON-LD or Open Graph) which could enhance SEO. External dependencies include Twitter widgets and Google Analytics. Hosting provider is not identified. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security best practices, posing risks to business operations and user trust.
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.
