Risk levelMedium

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

Stainless Creations is a small, specialized automotive service provider based in Falkirk, Scotland, offering MOT testing, vehicle repair, maintenance, and performance modifications. The company targets car enthusiasts and vehicle owners in Central Scotland, emphasizing quality workmanship and customer service. Their website is built on the Squarespace platform, featuring good design quality, mobile optimization, and clear navigation. However, the site lacks a privacy policy and terms of service, which are important for compliance and trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and no visible incident response information. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration anomaly, which slightly reduces trust but does not negate the legitimacy of the business as presented on the site.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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
  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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention stainless-creations.co.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for stainless-creations.co.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 positions itself as a local expert in automotive performance and maintenance, leveraging reputable suppliers and offering warranties on parts and labor. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on quality and customer satisfaction. The presence of a customer testimonial and clear contact information supports credibility. The website's marketing tools are minimal, primarily using Facebook for social engagement. There is no evidence of extensive analytics or tracking, indicating a privacy-conscious or low-scale digital marketing approach.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No forms are present, reducing the risk of input-based vulnerabilities. The cookie consent banner is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance, but the lack of a privacy policy and incident response contacts are notable compliance gaps. The domain's WHOIS anomaly is a concern and should be investigated further to ensure domain legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Create a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Investigate the domain registration anomaly with the registrar or Nominet to confirm domain legitimacy and resolve any issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing their CDN and standard JavaScript libraries. The use of Typekit fonts and JSON-LD structured data enhances SEO and user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no evidence of heavy analytics or tracking scripts, which may reduce technical complexity but also limits marketing insights. The site could benefit from additional technical SEO and security enhancements to improve overall robustness.
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.
