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

Soho Vocal Tuition is a specialized vocal coaching service based in London, offering private and online singing lessons. The business targets singers of all levels, including beginners and professionals, and boasts connections with Grammy-winning artists, positioning itself as a niche leader in the music education sector. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, integrating modern web technologies and third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance, enhancing user trust. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and business information appear consistent and professional. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but the site lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the site demonstrates good digital maturity and business credibility with room for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

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

4 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"

    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 service-based business model focused on vocal coaching and singing lessons, catering to a diverse clientele including industry professionals and beginners. Its market positioning is strengthened by endorsements and testimonials from notable artists, which serve as trust signals. Revenue streams likely include lesson bookings and gift voucher sales. The website's integration with HealCode suggests a partnership or use of third-party scheduling/payment services. The business maintains clear contact channels and business hours, supporting customer engagement. Growth potential exists through online lesson offerings and marketing via social media and analytics platforms. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating a standalone small business operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and HSTS headers, protecting data in transit. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of multiple third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. Absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests an opportunity to improve security culture and user trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. Hosting is managed by Squarespace, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL certificate management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic, with opportunities for improvement. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but reliance on multiple external scripts necessitates vigilant security monitoring to prevent supply chain risks.
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.
