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

Wolverhampton Self Storage is a UK-based self storage provider offering a variety of storage solutions including business units, residential units, student storage, pallet storage, and van & man services. The company targets small businesses, students, and residential customers in the Midlands area, providing secure, affordable, and flexible storage options with amenities such as lighting, power, WiFi, and 24-hour access. The website reflects a mature business with a domain registered since 2007, consistent with its market presence. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure with CDN support. The site is mobile-optimized, has good SEO practices, and uses external services like Mapbox and Common Ninja widgets. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and reCAPTCHA on contact forms, though there is room for improvement in privacy compliance and accessibility. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit GDPR compliance statements are notable gaps. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, which could be enhanced to improve trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and functional, serving its business purpose well. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its position.

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. 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. 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

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 sector focusing on self storage services. It leverages a local market approach targeting small businesses and individuals in Wolverhampton and the Midlands. The business model includes flexible rental contracts and value-added services such as business address registration and delivery handling. The company maintains an active social media presence to engage customers. The domain age and registration data support a credible and established operation. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary relationships. The company emphasizes trust through CCTV, insurance inclusion, and personal management contacts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling via Google reCAPTCHA. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, which limits transparency for security researchers. The lack of a published security policy or incident response plan suggests room for improvement in organizational security culture. No exposed credentials or known vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent and explicit GDPR statements. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add explicit GDPR compliance statements and data protection information in the privacy policy.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js framework, leveraging CDN services for media delivery and Google Fonts for typography. It uses Mapbox for location display and Common Ninja widgets for business hours. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be on DigitalOcean infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No CMS is explicitly detected, but the site likely uses Durable.co as a website builder platform. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with modern standards but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
