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. 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. 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

    • 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

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 operates primarily in manufacturing and construction sectors, focusing on insulation solutions. Their business model combines product manufacturing with value-added technical services, enabling them to support clients from design through installation. The presence of ISO certifications and a client base of prominent UK builders indicates a strong market position and adherence to quality standards. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a professional approach to client engagement. Marketing and analytics tools are used moderately, with room for enhanced privacy compliance. No suspicious or risky domains are linked, and the company maintains active social media channels for outreach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and integrates trusted analytics tools. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security issues. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, potentially exposing the company to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines or security.txt file to improve security readiness and transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Flatsome theme and WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin and structured data is implemented using JSON-LD. Analytics and user behavior tracking are conducted through Google Analytics and Hotjar, integrated via Google Tag Manager. The site is hosted by Team Blue Internet Services UK Limited, consistent with the WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. Some technical debt is evident in missing security headers and lack of cookie consent, which are modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with room for security and privacy improvements.
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.
