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

William Purves is a family-run funeral directors business with a long heritage spanning five generations, serving clients in the United Kingdom. The website presents professional content focused on funeral services and bereavement support, targeting individuals and families in need of such services. The business appears to be a small-sized service provider within the funeral industry sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and incorporates modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO Premium and Google Analytics. The site is accessible over HTTPS with no blocking security mechanisms detected, indicating a secure transport layer. However, the absence of privacy and terms of service pages, lack of security headers, and missing WHOIS registration data introduce concerns regarding compliance and domain legitimacy. Overall, the website demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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 positions itself as an established, family-owned funeral service provider with a focus on personalized and compassionate care. Its market advantage lies in its long-standing family heritage and local reputation. The business model is service-oriented, catering primarily to local clients requiring funeral arrangements and related support. The website's use of professional SEO tools suggests an intent to maintain visibility in search engines. However, the lack of explicit contact information and compliance documentation may limit trust for some users. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed, but the consistent branding and content quality imply a stable operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics, which involve user tracking but no explicit privacy controls were found. The lack of a privacy policy and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in headers and policy transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact details to provide transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and correct domain WHOIS registration to resolve naming rules violation and improve legitimacy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible framework. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes. Fonts are loaded from Typekit and Google Fonts, and Font Awesome is used for icons. The site uses Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization, indicating attention to SEO best practices. Performance appears moderate with standard optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. No hosting provider information is directly available from the HTML content. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit compliance documentation, which are areas for technical improvement.
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.
