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

Sutton Housing Partnership is a medium-sized housing management organization serving the Sutton community in the United Kingdom. The website provides comprehensive tenant services including tenancy management, repairs reporting, housing applications, and tenant support programs. The organization maintains a professional online presence with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at tenants and leaseholders. Technically, the site is built on VerseOne CMS v5 and uses common JavaScript libraries and Google Translate for accessibility. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly documented. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules error, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract from the legitimacy suggested by the website content. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations.

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

6 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 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

    • High

      Weak DKIM Key

      DKIM selector 'google' uses 840-bit key

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA keys for DKIM

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 organization operates in the real estate and government/non-profit sectors, focusing on housing management and tenant services. Its business model revolves around providing essential housing support and community engagement for residents of Sutton. Key services include tenancy management, repairs and maintenance, insurance offerings, and support for vulnerable tenants. The website's integration with external partners for payment processing and repair reporting indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Social media presence on major platforms supports community outreach and engagement. The lack of explicit company contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests contact is managed through dedicated pages or portals. The organization appears stable with a clear market position serving a local community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, nor is there a publicly available security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is a gap in transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's scope but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and resolve the domain WHOIS registration anomaly to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on VerseOne CMS v5 and uses a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, TinyMCE, Ace Editor, and other JavaScript libraries for functionality. Google Translate integration enhances accessibility for non-English speakers. The site includes responsive design elements and accessibility tools such as contrast controls and skip links. Performance is moderate with no significant issues detected. The site lacks advanced frameworks but is well-structured and maintains good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the organization's needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
