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

Clifton Wealth Partnership Ltd is a UK-based financial advisory and wealth management firm with a history dating back to 1986. The company recently acquired Tailormade Financial Services and operates under the Clifton group of companies. Their services target UK businesses and individual clients seeking specialist financial advice. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact details and regulatory disclosures. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Bootstrap, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS is implied and cookie consent is implemented, the absence of HTTP security headers and published security policies indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which impacts domain trust verification but does not detract from the professional presentation of the website. Overall, the site is safe, compliant with privacy regulations, and trustworthy from a business perspective.

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

4 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 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';…

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 holds a solid position in the UK financial services sector, focusing on restricted financial advice and wealth management. Their business model relies on personalized client services and regulatory compliance. The acquisition of Tailormade Financial Services suggests growth and consolidation strategy. The website's integration with the parent company domain (cliftonwp.co.uk) indicates a cohesive partnership ecosystem. Revenue streams likely derive from advisory fees and wealth management commissions. The firm targets a mature, professional audience in the UK market. The presence of client testimonials and regulatory disclosures enhances credibility. However, the lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests potential areas for strengthening competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS usage is implied but not explicitly confirmed via headers. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, and no sensitive data exposure is detected in the HTML. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security contact information is published, which is a compliance gap. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy incorporating continuous monitoring, staff training, and compliance updates.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics management, and Typekit for fonts. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The absence of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that could impact trust and security posture. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals but requires enhancements in security and performance optimization.
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.
