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

The Denture Studio LTD is a specialized denture clinic based in Lincoln, UK, offering bespoke denture services including acrylic, cobalt chrome, flexible dentures, and sports gumshields. The business emphasizes professional, friendly service with over 25 years of experience among its team members. The website reflects a local healthcare service provider with a clear focus on patient convenience, including free parking and home visits. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some security plugins present, but lacks explicit security headers and CAPTCHA on forms. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security 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

9 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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 Denture Studio LTD operates in the healthcare sector, targeting local patients in Lincolnshire needing denture and dental technician services. The business model is service-oriented with direct patient engagement through clinic visits and home visits. The company leverages its experienced team as a competitive advantage. The website supports business growth through testimonials and certifications, enhancing credibility. Marketing tools include Google Ads and Tag Manager, though analytics setup is incomplete. The company maintains active social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, supporting community engagement and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Wordfence plugin scripts indicate some security monitoring. However, the absence of key security headers such as CSP and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. The contact form lacks CAPTCHA, increasing risk of spam or abuse. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited formal security governance. Privacy compliance gaps, including missing privacy and cookie policies, expose the business to regulatory risk under GDPR. Overall, security practices are functional but require improvements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to all public forms to reduce spam and abuse.
  3. Configure and enable security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Properly configure Google Analytics or remove unused analytics plugins to avoid unnecessary overhead.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform hosted by GoDaddy, utilizing common plugins for SEO (Yoast), performance (WP Performance Score Booster), team showcase, and lead form building. The tech stack includes jQuery and Font Awesome for UI elements, with Google Tag Manager and Google Ads for marketing. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, the analytics plugin is installed but not configured, and no advanced accessibility features are evident. The site uses standard HTML5 and CSS with some inline styles and custom fonts. There is opportunity to modernize by improving security headers, optimizing analytics setup, and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
