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

The Koppers Care Home is a small, family-run residential care home specializing in dementia and memory care, located in East Devon, UK. The business emphasizes personalized care plans and dignity for residents, with a commitment to quality and safety. The website reflects this focus with clear, relevant content and imagery, targeting families seeking specialist care services locally. Technically, the site is built on the Weebly/EditMySite platform, using legacy jQuery and standard web fonts, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is basic, with HTTPS implied but lacking security headers and modern JavaScript libraries. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. WHOIS data for the exact domain queried is unavailable due to domain naming rules, suggesting the domain is a subdomain or alias rather than a registered domain, which slightly reduces trust from a domain registration perspective. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy from a business content standpoint but would benefit from improved security and privacy practices.

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

8 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';…

  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

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 Koppers Care Ltd operates in the healthcare sector, focusing on specialist dementia care in a local UK market. Its family-run model and CQC registration provide competitive advantages in trust and quality assurance. The business model centers on residential care with tailored plans and end-of-life care accreditation underway. The website indicates a small-sized operation with a local footprint. Partnerships include a website design company, but no other strategic alliances are evident. Revenue streams likely derive from care home fees and daycare services. Growth indicators are not explicit. The company maintains a clear, consistent brand and trust signals such as CQC certification and local contact details.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level. HTTPS is used, but no security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) are detected, and the JavaScript library jQuery is outdated, posing potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Data collection forms are absent, reducing risk of data leakage but also limiting user engagement. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Verify domain registration details and consider registering a primary domain consistent with the business name to improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the Weebly/EditMySite platform, utilizing legacy jQuery 1.8.3 and Google Analytics for tracking. The site uses multiple web fonts for styling and has a responsive design suitable for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no major errors detected. SEO is basic with proper meta tags and Open Graph data present. Accessibility features are minimal but functional. The lack of modern security headers and outdated libraries represent technical debt and potential risk. The site does not use advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies, reflecting a simple, small business web presence.
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.
