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

The Wallingford Window Company Ltd is a small UK-based business specializing in the supply and installation of UPVC and aluminium replacement windows, doors, conservatories, and related home improvement products. The company positions itself as a local specialist with expertise and FENSA registration, targeting homeowners and property managers seeking quality home improvement solutions. The website presents a professional design with clear navigation and customer testimonials, supporting its credibility in the market. Technically, the website uses a basic tech stack including jQuery 1.12.4 and is hosted via GoDaddy. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS, but lacks modern security headers and uses an outdated JavaScript library, which could pose security risks. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking services, and privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating limited privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site shows moderate posture with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and policies. The WHOIS data presents a significant anomaly with a domain creation date in the future, which undermines trust in the domain registration information. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires improvements in security practices, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency to enhance trustworthiness and reduce risk.

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

9 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 real estate/home improvement sector with a direct-to-customer business model focused on window and door replacement and conservatory construction. Its competitive advantages include FENSA registration, use of reputable product brands, and a local market focus. The website content and testimonials indicate a customer-centric approach with bespoke design and installation services. The absence of detailed company founding data and limited contact information suggests a small business scale. Partnerships with product manufacturers like Deceuninck and Solidor enhance product offerings. Growth indicators are not explicit but the presence of multiple service offerings and customer testimonials imply ongoing operations and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The absence of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies further limits security readiness. No signs of malware or phishing were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure process with clear contact channels.
  5. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration data to ensure consistency and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily based on jQuery 1.12.4 and standard HTML/CSS. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version is a technical debt and security risk. No modern frameworks or CMS platforms were detected. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no advanced structured data or analytics integration. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
