Security score

60/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.suffolkmortgages.co.uk is currently inaccessible beyond a security verification page employing Google reCAPTCHA v3, indicating a bot protection mechanism is in place. No actual business content, contact information, or policies are accessible, severely limiting the ability to assess the company's services or market position. The domain WHOIS lookup failed with an error stating the domain name is invalid per Nominet UK naming rules, suggesting the domain is either misconfigured or not properly registered. Technically, the site uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 and Google reCAPTCHA but lacks visible security headers or HTTPS enforcement in the provided data. Overall, the site exhibits a low level of digital maturity and business credibility due to the lack of accessible content and domain 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

7 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

Due to the absence of accessible business content, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain's WHOIS data indicates invalid registration, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of the website. No contact details, privacy policies, or certifications are present to support trust or compliance. The site appears to be a placeholder or under protection, with no visible market positioning or business model information.

Security posture

The security posture is limited to the presence of Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation. No other security headers or HTTPS enforcement details are visible. The domain registration issues further undermine trust. The site lacks visible incident response contacts, security policies, or vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is low, with significant gaps in transparency and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Ensure the domain is properly registered and compliant with Nominet UK naming rules to establish legitimacy.
  2. Provide full website content beyond the security verification challenge to enable user access and analysis.
  3. Implement HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and enforce it site-wide.
  4. Add comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  5. Publish clear contact information and security policies, including incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Bootstrap 5.3.3 for styling and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. No CMS or hosting provider information is discernible. The site is currently blocked behind a security verification page, preventing access to actual content. No SEO meta tags, Open Graph, or structured data are present. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic due to minimal content. The lack of security headers and HTTPS enforcement details indicates technical debt and potential risks. Performance and user experience cannot be fully assessed due to content blocking.
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.
