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

Yourweather.co.uk, operated under the Meteored brand, is a UK-focused weather information website providing 14-day forecasts, meteorological news, videos, and weather widgets. The site targets a general audience interested in weather updates and scientific weather-related content. It maintains a consistent brand presence with apps available across major platforms and active social media channels. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks, integrates advertising and tracking services such as Google Tag Manager and DoubleClick, and uses HTTPS with strong security headers, ensuring a secure browsing experience. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a Nominet UK naming rules violation, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy but does not affect the website's operational status. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, though direct company contact emails and phone numbers are not publicly listed, relying instead on a contact form. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front with room for improvement in transparency of domain registration and incident response information.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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 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

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 website operates in the media sector, focusing on weather forecasting and meteorological news. It leverages advertising revenue through multiple ad networks and offers widgets and plugins for third-party websites, indicating a diversified revenue model. The presence of multiple related domains in different languages and regions suggests a broad partnership ecosystem under the Meteored brand. The target market is primarily UK residents and English-speaking users interested in weather information. The site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with modern web technologies and multi-platform app availability. Growth indicators include active content updates, video integration, and social media engagement. Strategic partnerships with related weather sites enhance market reach. However, the lack of visible company registration details and direct contact information may limit business credibility for some users.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern ad and tracking technologies is balanced with privacy compliance measures, including cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or a security.txt file limits transparency in vulnerability management and incident handling. No known vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected in the site content or scripts. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response information and conducting regular third-party script audits to maintain security integrity. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance trust through improved security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure transparency.
  2. Verify and correct domain registration details with Nominet UK to resolve WHOIS data unavailability and enhance domain legitimacy.
  3. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy front end with asynchronous loading of scripts and styles, including Google Tag Manager, Prebid.js for header bidding, and Dailymotion video integration. It employs CSS Grid and Flexbox for responsive layouts and supports multiple device platforms including Android, iOS, Huawei AppGallery, and Windows Store apps. Performance is moderate, with optimizations such as lazy loading images and deferred script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter Card metadata. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses multiple external domains for content delivery, advertising, and analytics, which is typical for media sites but requires ongoing security monitoring. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for modernization and enhanced accessibility.
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.
