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

Reconomy Connect Development is a UK-based waste management and recycling service provider, recently rebranding Novati under its umbrella to consolidate services and enhance customer offerings. The company positions itself as a leading specialist in commercial waste collection, recycling, hazardous waste management, and related environmental services. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with integrations such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site includes a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and structured data for SEO benefits. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of a published privacy policy and terms of service pages are notable gaps. WHOIS data for the domain is incomplete, which slightly impacts trust but is mitigated by consistent branding and external references. Overall, the website is well-constructed, user-friendly, and targets UK businesses seeking sustainable waste management solutions.

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

1 finding 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

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 in the environmental services sector, focusing on B2B waste management solutions across the UK. Their business model emphasizes comprehensive service offerings including skip hire, hazardous waste disposal, and recycling equipment. The rebranding of Novati into Reconomy Connect suggests strategic consolidation to leverage shared innovations and broaden service portfolios. The presence of career and customer portals indicates a mature operational structure. Marketing and analytics tools are employed to optimize customer engagement and service delivery. The company maintains active social media channels to support brand presence and customer interaction. Despite missing some legal documentation on the website, the overall business credibility is high given the professional presentation and sector leadership claims.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and the use of Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security headers implementation. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The contact form uses Gravity Forms, a reputable plugin, but no explicit anti-CSRF or advanced input validation details are visible. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts is a gap in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and ensuring comprehensive compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify legal terms and conditions for website and service use.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.4.1, Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Gravity Forms for contact forms. The site uses responsive design techniques and includes SEO optimizations via Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate with some use of external scripts and embedded videos from Vimeo. Accessibility is basic but present, with ARIA labels and semantic HTML elements. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility features and performance optimizations such as script deferment and image optimization. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience with room for incremental 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.
