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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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. 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';…

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 holds a strong position as a local pharmacy with NHS integration, offering essential healthcare services and leveraging digital platforms for customer convenience. Revenue streams likely include prescription sales, NHS funded services, and possibly app-based ordering. The partnership with MyHealth Hub and a dedicated online shop domain indicates a strategic approach to digital transformation. The target market is local residents requiring pharmacy services, with growth potential through enhanced digital engagement. The business maintains trust through regulatory compliance and professional affiliations. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The site uses reputable plugins and frameworks but should maintain regular security audits. Privacy compliance is partial, with policies present but no active cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but can be enhanced to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Regularly update and audit WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by appointing or naming a Data Protection Officer and publishing relevant contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Jetpack for additional functionality including analytics. It uses jQuery and modern CSS styling. Hosting is provided by Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed by optimizing images and scripts. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but could be enhanced with structured data markup. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and optimization efforts.
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.
