Risk levelMedium

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

Steve Frood Autos is a local automotive service center based in Sandy, offering car servicing, MOT testing, and general vehicle maintenance. The business emphasizes reliability, good value, and customer referrals as key trust factors. The website presents basic but relevant content targeted at local vehicle owners. Technically, the site uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.5 and Google Analytics for tracking. The site lacks modern security headers and privacy policies, and WHOIS data for the domain is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities but outdated technology and missing HTTPS information are risks. Overall, the site is functional but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trust and compliance.

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

11 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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
    • 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

  3. 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.

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 operates in the transportation sector as a small local business focused on automotive services. Its competitive advantage lies in customer referrals and offering quality services without main dealer prices. The business model is straightforward, targeting local customers needing car servicing and MOTs. The website supports this with clear contact details and a Facebook presence but lacks formal policies or certifications. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal digital presence and outdated technology stack.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic. No HTTPS or security headers information was found, and the site uses outdated JavaScript libraries which may expose it to vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. The site does not expose sensitive data or forms collecting personal information, reducing immediate risk. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of security best practices reduce overall trustworthiness and increase risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy jQuery 1.5 and several jQuery plugins for UI effects and image cycling. Google Analytics is implemented for user tracking. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from Google CDN. The HTML structure is basic with no modern frameworks or CMS detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization for mobile or accessibility beyond basic levels. The site lacks HTTPS information and security headers, indicating potential technical debt and modernization needs. No hosting provider or CMS details are discernible from the data.
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.
