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

7 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 has a strong market position as a niche health and safety training provider with over 25 years of experience. Their business model focuses on delivering sector-specific training solutions that help clients manage risk and comply with regulations. The website indicates a focus on UK clients, with clear sector segmentation and a variety of course delivery methods. The presence of social media and client logos suggests active marketing and partnership engagement. Revenue streams likely include course fees from instructor-led and e-learning programs. The company demonstrates a commitment to quality and accreditation, enhancing its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to secure form submissions, reducing spam and abuse risks. Tracking scripts from Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Facebook Pixel are used for marketing and analytics purposes. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not confirmed, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response information suggests room to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Monitor third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy compliance and security risks.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, Slider Revolution for visual content, KingComposer for page building, and Slick Carousel for UI elements. It uses jQuery and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and content structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed by optimizing scripts and images. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
