Risk levelMedium

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

Stirling Alarms is a small UK-based security and electrical services provider operating primarily in Stirling and surrounding areas. The company offers intruder alarms, CCTV, commercial fire alarms, and electrical services. It is part of Connelly Group Holdings Ltd, with security services managed by Connelly Security Systems (CSS). The website is hosted on the Weebly platform and uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics. While the site is accessible and professionally presented, it lacks key compliance documents such as privacy and terms of service pages. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and usage of an outdated jQuery version. Contact information and certifications are clearly displayed, enhancing business credibility. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy.

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

10 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 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

    • 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

The company targets residential and commercial customers in Central Scotland, leveraging certifications like NSI Gold and memberships in recognized industry bodies to build trust. Its business model focuses on installation, repair, and servicing of security and electrical systems. The affiliation with Connelly Group Holdings Ltd and related subsidiaries indicates a broader service ecosystem. The website links to partner domains for specialized services such as EV charging and electrical contracting. The company appears to have a stable local market presence with nearly 30 years of operation, but the lack of detailed business registration data online limits full verification.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes Google reCAPTCHA scripts, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.8.3) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No forms collecting sensitive data were detected on the main page, reducing immediate risk. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, though a cookie consent mechanism is present. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with updated libraries, security headers, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to fully comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Weebly CMS platform, using standard web technologies including jQuery 1.8.3, Google Analytics, and Snowplow Analytics. Hosting is provided via Weebly's CDN infrastructure. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but lacks advanced optimization. Accessibility features are minimal. The site structure is clear with straightforward navigation. Technical debt is indicated by the use of outdated JavaScript libraries and missing security headers. Modernization opportunities include updating the tech stack, improving accessibility, and enhancing compliance features. Technical risks include potential exploitation of outdated libraries and lack of security headers.
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.
