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

Storewithus Self Storage Bridgend operates a professional self storage and flexible office space business serving Bridgend and surrounding areas in the UK. The company offers indoor and outdoor storage units, container storage, caravan and motorhome storage, along with free van hire and insurance. Their market position is that of the largest and best value self storage provider in Bridgend, supported by customer testimonials and CaSSOA Platinum certification. The website is well designed with clear navigation and good content quality, targeting domestic and business customers seeking storage solutions. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including service workers and integrates Google Analytics and Trustpilot for analytics and reputation management. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, though explicit security headers and policies are missing. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie notification but no clear privacy or terms pages. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming errors, which lowers trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but would benefit from improved compliance and security disclosures.

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. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 business targets local customers in Bridgend and nearby regions, offering a range of storage solutions and flexible office space. Their business model is rental-based with value-added services like free van hire and insurance to differentiate from competitors. Customer service is emphasized with testimonials highlighting responsiveness and security. The company leverages online booking and calculators to streamline customer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes social media presence and Trustpilot integration for reputation. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service offering and certifications. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing digital trust signals and compliance documentation to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency. Privacy compliance is minimal, with only a cookie notification present. The site lacks a published security policy or data protection officer contact. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, there is room for improvement in formalizing security and privacy governance to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet accessibility standards.
  5. Improve WHOIS registration consistency or consider domain registration review to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (DirectScale) and hosted likely via CDN-Website.com infrastructure. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including Skrollr for parallax effects and service workers for offline capabilities. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Trustpilot widgets. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. Technical risks include missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
