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

Traffic Survey Partners Ltd is a UK-based specialist provider of traffic and transport data collection services, targeting local authorities, transport consultants, and private developers across the UK and Ireland. Their offerings include ANPR surveys, classified junction counts, automatic traffic counts, drone surveys, pedestrian and cycle crossing surveys, and queue length and signal timing surveys. The company is positioned as a trusted supplier, evidenced by their approvals on Coupa, Avetta, and Ariba platforms. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact channels and service descriptions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Elementor Pro, incorporating modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security and Complianz for GDPR cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, hosted likely on a European provider. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and accessibility. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, but lacks some recommended security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain registration error indicating the domain name violates Nominet UK naming rules, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy or configuration. Despite this, the website content and business information appear credible and professional. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for a niche transport data service provider but should address domain registration issues, enhance security headers, and publish privacy and security policies to improve trust and compliance.

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

7 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 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';…

  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

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

Traffic Survey Partners operates in the transportation sector, focusing on traffic and transport data collection services. Their market positioning is strengthened by compliance with major procurement platforms (Coupa, Avetta, Ariba), indicating reliability and trustworthiness. The business model is service-oriented, providing data collection and analysis to public and private sector clients. The company targets local authorities, transport consultants, and developers, suggesting a B2B focus. The website content and certifications indicate a small-sized company with specialized expertise. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed beyond procurement platform approvals. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and professional digital presence. Strategic observations suggest the company could benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies and resolving domain registration inconsistencies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA v3 protects the contact form against spam and abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Complianz with opt-in mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not published, limiting transparency and preparedness perception. The domain registration error in WHOIS data is a concern but may be a technical or administrative issue rather than a security threat. Overall, the site is secure for typical business use but should improve header implementation and publish security policies to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear and accessible privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid potential service disruptions or trust concerns.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Conduct a security audit to verify no vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data exist and maintain regular updates of all CMS components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro for design and layout, enabling responsive and visually appealing pages. It uses jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA v3 for enhanced user interaction and form security. Cookie consent is managed by the Complianz GDPR plugin, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be on a European IP address, possibly OVH or a similar provider. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and video backgrounds, which may impact load times on slower connections. Accessibility features are basic but present, with skip links and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is missing, representing a modernization opportunity. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can be improved for security and performance optimization.
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.
