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

Will Writing and Probate Services Ltd. is a small UK-based company specializing in legal services related to wills, probate, powers of attorney, and property trusts. With over 25 years of experience, the company targets individuals in the Bristol, Gloucester, and Wiltshire areas seeking professional assistance in estate planning and related legal matters. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its audience. Technically, the website uses JavaScript and Google Analytics for tracking, and is built on the itseeze CMS platform. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with no major technical issues detected in the HTML content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. However, the WHOIS lookup failed due to domain registration errors, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness despite the professional website content. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for its business, but the domain registration anomaly should be investigated further. Enhancing security headers and publishing clear security and incident response policies would improve the security posture and compliance standing.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

  4. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 a niche legal services market focused on wills and probate, serving a regional UK clientele. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence and specialized service offerings. The business model is service-oriented, relying on direct client engagement and personalized legal assistance. Revenue streams likely come from service fees for will writing, probate processing, and related legal documentation. The website indicates a stable partnership with itseeze for web services but no other partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and client testimonials, though no explicit growth metrics are provided.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating awareness of privacy and security basics. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy information is published, which may impact compliance with GDPR and other regulations. The WHOIS domain registration anomaly is a notable risk factor, potentially affecting trust and domain ownership verification. There is no evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data, but continuous monitoring and security improvements are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Investigate and resolve the domain registration WHOIS anomaly to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the itseeze CMS platform and uses JavaScript extensively for responsive design and user interaction. Google Analytics is integrated via gtag.js for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive breakpoints and uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt observed in the HTML content. However, the lack of visible security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility modernization.
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.
