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

Wyreside Lakes is a well-established family-run fishery and campsite located in Dolphinholme, Lancashire, UK. The business offers six fishing lakes stocked with various fish species and a range of camping accommodations including caravans, tents, and pods. The website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence with clear navigation, rich content, and multiple booking options. The company enjoys a strong local reputation, highlighted by a recent visit from King Charles III, and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. Technically, the site is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. However, the absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues slightly impacts trust from a domain legitimacy perspective. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking visible security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear GDPR and cookie policies including consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is trustworthy and user-friendly, serving its target audience effectively.

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. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Wyreside Lakes operates in the hospitality and recreation sector, targeting anglers, campers, and families seeking outdoor leisure activities. The business model centers on direct service provision with online booking capabilities for fishing and camping. The company leverages its scenic location and diverse fishing lakes to maintain competitive advantage. Its market position is strengthened by long-term operation (34 years) and community engagement, including charitable activities and events. Revenue streams likely include fishing permits, camping fees, pod rentals, food delivery, and dog grooming services. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms for marketing and customer engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for enhanced security transparency and incident response readiness to further build customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is in use, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact information is not provided, which could delay handling of security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR and cookie policies clearly stated and consent mechanisms implemented. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve security incident handling.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React and Next.js framework, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. The use of CSS modules and Google Fonts contributes to a polished visual design. Hosting appears to be on a performant platform, likely Vercel, supporting fast load times and excellent mobile optimization. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and accessible content. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. There is no evidence of heavy analytics or tracking scripts, which benefits privacy and performance. Technical risks include the lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which could affect domain trust and security posture. Overall, the technical implementation is strong with room for security enhancements.
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.
