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

Yodel Delivery Network Limited operates a UK-focused platform recruiting self-employed delivery drivers offering flexible work and competitive pay. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with clear calls to action and detailed driver role descriptions. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and October CMS, with embedded analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Trustpilot widgets. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and Content Security Policy in place, complemented by GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violations, which introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site reflects a mature business with a solid market position in parcel delivery services.

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. 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 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';…

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 23 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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 targets individuals seeking flexible self-employed delivery roles in the UK, positioning itself as a major player in the parcel delivery sector. Its business model focuses on driver recruitment and support, offering benefits like flexible payment options and partner discounts. The presence of Trustpilot reviews and official company registration details enhances credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as yodelopportunities.co.uk for applications and the main corporate site yodel.co.uk. The company appears large and established, serving a broad UK market with a focus on transportation services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, a strict Content Security Policy, and cookie consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, additional security headers could be implemented to further harden the site. The absence of explicit security or incident response policies on the site is noted. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve defense in depth.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Clarify domain registration status or consider domain consolidation to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on October CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Swiper, and Slick Carousel. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and Klaro for cookie consent management. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses multiple external domains for fonts, analytics, advertising, and chat services, which requires careful management to avoid performance or security issues.
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.
