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

Woodgate and Clark Limited is a well-established loss adjusting company based in England, offering a broad range of insurance-related services including commercial major loss, property, liability, and specialist claims management. The company positions itself as trusted and secure with over half a century of experience, serving insurance companies, brokers, and commercial clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its target audience. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with modern web standards, including mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security policy documentation is absent. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming rules, indicating a possible misconfiguration or use of a subdomain, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the professional presentation and business legitimacy evident on the site.

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

2 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. 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 operates in the insurance and real estate sectors, focusing on loss adjusting and claims management services. It benefits from being part of the Van Ameyde group, which enhances its market credibility. The business model is service-oriented, targeting insurance providers and commercial clients. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a stable market position. The presence of a client login portal and active LinkedIn profile indicates a mature digital presence. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce functions are present, consistent with a B2B service provider. The company demonstrates strategic partnerships with its parent group and maintains a professional online presence that supports its business goals.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented with user choice for analytics cookies, supporting GDPR compliance. No security headers were explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding formal security documentation and improving HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and expose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a terms of service page to clarify legal terms and user agreements.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking with user consent. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation menus and structured content. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by image sizes and slider scripts. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
