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

SOD-IT, operated by Solutions on Demand Ltd, is a UK-based IT support and technology solutions provider focused on serving businesses primarily in Glasgow and Ayrshire. The company offers a range of services including cloud tools, Microsoft 365 solutions, hardware supply, and IT support. Their market position is that of a regional specialist with strong partnerships with major technology vendors such as Dell and Microsoft. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern libraries and plugins such as jQuery, Contact Form 7, and Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with Yoast SEO integration. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, though additional security headers and explicit privacy policies could enhance the security posture. The security posture is solid but not comprehensive; the absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with moderate tracking and marketing tools. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security policies would further strengthen the company's risk management and 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

8 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

SOD-IT operates as a small-sized B2B technology service provider with a focus on IT support and cloud-based solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in regional specialization and partnerships with recognized technology vendors. The business model centers on providing managed IT services and hardware supply to SMEs. Revenue streams likely include service contracts, hardware sales, and software licensing. The target customers are businesses in Glasgow, Ayrshire, and wider UK regions requiring reliable IT infrastructure and support. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing and creative agencies, local advertising, and supply chain partners, enhancing their service delivery and market reach. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand compliance transparency and incident response capabilities to meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate with foundational protections such as HTTPS and CAPTCHA integration. The website lacks explicit security headers like CSP and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed credentials were found, indicating good operational security hygiene. Compliance gaps include absence of a cookie consent mechanism and detailed privacy policy disclosures aligned with GDPR. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could delay effective handling of security incidents. The security culture is implied by Cyber Essentials certification and use of reputable third-party services but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent banner.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to build trust with users and researchers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper for UI components. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich search results. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and tracking scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements and viewport settings. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low with up-to-date libraries and no deprecated scripts detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the use of CDN services like MaxCDN and Google-hosted scripts suggests a distributed infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve performance by optimizing image sizes and reducing third-party script load. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience with room for modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
