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

X.Communications Ltd (Xcomm) is a well-established UK-based provider of enterprise communication solutions, including network services, security, unified communications, and hosted telephony. The company targets a broad range of clients from small businesses to FTSE 100 companies and public sector organizations. Their market position is strengthened by partnerships with leading technology vendors such as Cisco and Cisco Meraki, and a portfolio of managed services and consultancy offerings. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and libraries, delivering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, but lacks some security headers and explicit incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the website and domain demonstrate high legitimacy and trustworthiness, supported by consistent WHOIS data and a long domain age. The absence of blocking mechanisms or WAF challenges allows full content analysis. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response transparency would enhance the security posture and user trust.

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

  2. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Xcomm operates in the technology sector, focusing on telecommunications and network security solutions. Their business model combines product offerings with consultancy and managed services, targeting enterprise clients and public sector organizations. The company leverages strong vendor partnerships and accreditations to maintain competitive advantages. Their subsidiary LineBroker extends their market reach by providing pricing comparison services. The website content and structure indicate a mature business with a clear growth strategy and a focus on customer support and integration services.

Security posture

The security posture of Xcomm's website is good, with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information. The company offers security-related services such as multi-factor authentication and encrypted VPNs, indicating internal security awareness. However, the website lacks visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not provide explicit incident response or abuse contact information. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with no cookie consent mechanism detected, which is a compliance risk under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  4. Enhance website security by adding recommended HTTP security headers.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, LayerSlider, and Slider Revolution, indicating a modern but plugin-dependent infrastructure. The use of Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager shows integration with common web services. Performance is moderate, with some caching and optimization evident. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with structured data and meta tags. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting is via 123-Reg Limited, a reputable UK provider. Overall, the technical setup supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
