Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Westfield Services (UK) Ltd is a UK-based construction, engineering, and environmental services company with over 40 years of trading experience. The company offers a broad range of specialist services including pipework, LPG, barrier systems, construction, and electrical installations. Their website reflects a professional business presence with clear contact details, company registration information, and multiple service divisions. However, the domain WHOIS data is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Technically, the website is built using Adobe Muse with older JavaScript libraries and lacks modern security features such as HTTPS and security headers. Privacy compliance is minimal with no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the site is functional and informative but requires improvements in security and domain legitimacy verification.

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. 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

  2. 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

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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

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 positions itself as a trusted regional service provider in construction and engineering sectors with a diversified portfolio of specialist subsidiaries. Their business model focuses on in-house project management and skilled labor services across the UK. The presence of BSI ISO 9001-2008 certification and company registration number adds credibility. The website targets UK-based commercial and industrial clients seeking flexible and cost-effective engineering solutions. The lack of domain WHOIS data and minimal digital marketing or analytics integration suggests a traditional business with limited digital maturity.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a moderate security posture with no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers, and usage of outdated JavaScript libraries which could expose vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The absence of cookie consent and privacy compliance features indicates gaps in GDPR adherence. No sensitive data exposure was detected, but the site would benefit from a security audit and modernization of its tech stack to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported and secure versions.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance.
  5. Verify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is a static site generated by Adobe Muse, using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery 1.8.3 and RequireJS. It uses Typekit fonts for typography. The site has basic mobile optimization with alternate pages for phone and tablet devices. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Accessibility features are minimal. SEO is basic with meta description and keywords but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and CMS are not identified. The site lacks modern security configurations and analytics integration.
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.
