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

6 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. 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';…

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 holds a strong market position as a leading roofing contractor in the UK, leveraging over three decades of experience. Their business model focuses on service delivery in the energy and construction sectors, targeting commercial and industrial clients. The presence of multiple service centers and a diverse service portfolio indicates a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. Their use of proprietary portals and innovative project management tools suggests a commitment to operational efficiency. The partnership with wpaportal.co.uk hints at an integrated ecosystem supporting client and subcontractor management. The company’s digital footprint and social media engagement further support their competitive advantage and brand recognition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of several key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential risk vector. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The overall security score is good but could be enhanced by adopting comprehensive security headers and publishing formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to minimize security risks and technical debt.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.6 using the The7 theme and WPBakery Page Builder, supported by plugins such as Yoast SEO Premium, Slider Revolution, and Ultimate VC Addons. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is hosted with Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Some technical debt is evident in missing security headers and partial accessibility features. The infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence but would benefit from modernization in security and accessibility compliance.
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.
