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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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 a large network of local financial advisers providing personalized financial planning and wealth management services. Their business model focuses on advisory services rather than direct product sales, emphasizing long-term client relationships. The website supports client acquisition and engagement through search tools for local advisers and educational content. The presence of multiple related domains for client login, charitable foundation, regional operations, and careers indicates a diversified and structured organization. The company targets a broad demographic of individuals seeking financial security and wealth growth, positioning itself as a trusted advisor in the UK financial sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses secure forms with CSRF protections. While explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visible in the HTML, the overall security posture is solid with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. Third-party scripts are limited to reputable services such as Google Tag Manager and Trustpilot. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential areas for improvement in transparency. The site appears compliant with privacy regulations and uses consent mechanisms for cookies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing verified company phone numbers and emails for support and security reporting.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Select2, and Slick Carousel. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and integrates Trustpilot for customer reviews. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies on CDNs. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus and breadcrumb trails. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance hosting provider transparency.
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.
