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

Tindall Riley & Co Limited is a UK-based insurance management company specializing in mutual insurance services for shipowners, insurance brokers, and architects. With a heritage dating back to 1855, the company manages three distinct insurance businesses: Britannia, Griffin, and Wren. Their market position is that of a niche mutual insurance manager with a strong reputation for service quality and adherence to mutuality principles. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting industry professionals in transportation and insurance sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks such as Bootstrap 5 and integrates common plugins like Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. The site is hosted by a reputable UK provider (ANS Group Ltd) and employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented, including structured data and meta tags. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and GDPR cookie compliance but lacks explicit security headers and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Analytics usage includes Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager with moderate user tracking. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and technical maturity with room for improvement in security best practices and accessibility. The risk profile is low with no critical issues identified.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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

Tindall Riley operates in a specialized segment of the insurance industry, focusing on mutual insurance for shipowners, brokers, and architects. Their long history and niche focus provide competitive advantages in trust and expertise. The business model revolves around managing mutual insurance entities, generating revenue through insurance management fees and services. The target customers are professional entities in maritime transport, insurance brokerage, and architectural professions. The company maintains a clear partnership ecosystem with no visible subsidiaries or parent companies. Growth indicators include recent news such as joining ClimateWise, indicating engagement with sustainability initiatives. The website supports recruitment and corporate social responsibility messaging, reflecting a mature organizational structure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR compliance mechanisms in place. The use of a GDPR cookie compliance plugin and clear cookie consent banners indicate attention to privacy regulations. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and user inclusivity.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery. It uses several well-known plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Contact Form 7 for form handling, and Moove GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy management. Hosting is provided by ANS Group Ltd (UKFAST), a reputable UK hosting provider. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs like MaxCDN, Cloudflare, and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with animations and sliders implemented via jQuery plugins. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries, but security headers are missing. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and appropriate for a professional corporate website.
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.
