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

Solvology is a UK-based business solutions provider specializing in consulting, business mentoring, executive coaching, non-executive directorship, interim management, and access to finance and shared services. The company targets a broad audience ranging from SMEs to multinational corporations, emphasizing a cooperative and referral-driven approach to delivering sustainable business solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and a focus on business clients. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies such as jQuery and Matomo analytics, and implements cookie consent mechanisms via Iubenda. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and explicit security policies suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error from Nominet UK, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in security and compliance documentation.

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

6 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 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

Solvology operates in the business consulting sector with a focus on providing tailored solutions from conception to delivery. Its business model relies heavily on referrals, indicating strong client satisfaction and network effects. The company offers a diverse range of services that cater to various business needs, positioning itself as a flexible and process-driven partner. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized enterprise with a UK focus. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage may indicate a controlled client engagement process, possibly via client login areas. The use of professional themes and privacy compliance tools reflects a mature digital presence. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency and missing terms of service could be areas to address for enhanced credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-respecting tracking. The missing WHOIS data and domain registration error from Nominet UK are notable concerns that should be investigated further to ensure domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened with additional policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure domain legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and Iubenda for cookie management, and Matomo for analytics. The site uses Google Fonts and external CDN resources for performance optimization. The HTML structure is valid and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external scripts that may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No hosting provider information was identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
