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

Vehicle Consulting Group operates a professional website focused on business car leasing, salary sacrifice schemes, and fleet solutions across the UK. The company appears established since 2000, with a consistent domain registration and a clear business focus on transportation services for businesses. The website uses WordPress with the Divi theme and integrates SEO and cookie consent tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks advanced DNS security and explicit security policies on the site. Privacy compliance is partial due to absence of visible privacy and terms policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve transparency and security details.

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 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 targets UK businesses needing flexible vehicle leasing and fleet management solutions. Its business model is service-oriented, leveraging salary sacrifice schemes and fleet solutions to serve a niche market. The long domain age supports credibility and market presence. The website content and structured data reinforce the brand identity and service offerings. However, lack of visible contact details and legal policies may limit customer trust and compliance. The company likely operates as a small-sized enterprise within the transportation sector, with potential for growth through enhanced digital presence and compliance.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer lock, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries. Security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible framework. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie consent is handled by CookieYes scripts. External resources include Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts. The site appears moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Hosting is likely through IONOS SE, consistent with the registrar information. No major technical issues or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
