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

The Stanwick Hotel is a hospitality business located in Stanwick, Northamptonshire, UK, offering guest accommodation, a bar and gastro restaurant, and facilities for weddings, civil ceremonies, and business events. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and includes integrations with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics purposes. The site presents a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and user experience, targeting general consumers and event organizers. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules issues introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security, and compliance features.

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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 Stanwick Hotel operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on accommodation, dining, and event hosting services. Its market position is that of a local venue catering to weddings, business conferences, and leisure guests. The business model revolves around providing comprehensive hospitality services with a focus on quality and customer experience. The website's integration with social media and analytics tools indicates an active marketing approach. However, the lack of detailed business registration information and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and regulatory compliance. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with no visible parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies was found, and no security certifications are displayed. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using the Thunderbolt framework, which provides a modern and responsive design. It uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integrations for Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but includes meta tags and structured data for improved search engine understanding. Hosting is managed by Wix, a reputable provider. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated technologies, but the site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
