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

Strand Preservations Ltd is a UK-based specialist company focused on preservation services, likely within the construction or building maintenance sector. The website presents a professional image with clear contact details and a focused business description. The company targets clients seeking expert preservation solutions, positioning itself as a niche service provider. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging Google Fonts for typography. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with basic accessibility and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and formal policies such as privacy or cookie notices. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the site is functional and credible from a business perspective but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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. 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. 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';…

  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

    • 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 operates in a specialized preservation niche, serving a targeted audience likely comprising property owners, developers, or maintenance professionals. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on expert preservation solutions. The website's professional design and clear contact information support credibility, though the absence of privacy and cookie policies may limit trust for privacy-conscious clients. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The lack of WHOIS data and domain registration issues suggest potential administrative or technical misconfigurations. The company appears to be a small-sized entity operating primarily within the UK market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or incident response contacts are present, limiting transparency for vulnerability reporting. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests incomplete compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure WHOIS data availability and improve domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (WordPress) using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design framework. Google Fonts are used for typography, enhancing aesthetics. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though no explicit performance metrics were available. Accessibility is basic, with potential for improvement in semantic markup and ARIA attributes. SEO is basic, with proper meta tags but lacking advanced structured data or rich snippets. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The technical infrastructure is sound but could benefit from modernization in 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.
