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

5 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 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';…

  4. 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

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

SPA Ltd operates in the real estate maintenance sector with a diversified service portfolio that includes energy-related services such as EV chargers and solar energy through partner sites. The company leverages its 20-year history to maintain a strong market presence and client trust. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on commercial property maintenance with a regional focus in the UK. The website indicates strategic partnerships with specialized service providers, enhancing their service offering. The use of HubSpot tools suggests an interest in marketing automation and customer engagement. The company appears to maintain ethical business practices and compliance with health and safety standards, which are key competitive advantages in their industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. The use of reputable third-party analytics and cookie consent tools indicates awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page are gaps that could be addressed to improve transparency and security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which may limit rapid response capabilities in case of security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enhance privacy compliance by providing a more comprehensive privacy policy and adding terms of service.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Fusion Builder theme and plugins, which provides a flexible and responsive design. The integration of HubSpot for cookie consent and analytics shows a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization especially in image sizes and script loading. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced security headers and accessibility improvements. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Claranet Limited, a reputable provider, which supports reliability and uptime.
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.
