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

Zoonou Limited is a UK-based software testing and quality assurance company, uniquely positioned as the UK's only employee-owned software testing firm. Established in 2007, it has delivered over 5,000 projects and holds multiple certifications including B Corp, ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services spanning QA strategy, delivery, accessibility, cybersecurity, and test automation, targeting private, public, and third sector organizations. Their business model emphasizes employee ownership and social responsibility, aligning with their B Corp certification and commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. Technically, Zoonou employs modern web technologies including React, HubSpot marketing and analytics tools, and Umbraco CMS. The site is hosted via UK2.net and integrates multiple third-party services for marketing and analytics. While the SSL certificate is valid and strong, the site currently lacks support for modern TLS protocols, which is a notable security gap. Performance metrics indicate a slower load time, suggesting opportunities for optimization. From a security perspective, the company demonstrates good practices such as HSTS enforcement and absence of known SSL vulnerabilities. However, the lack of DNSSEC, CAA records, and a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates areas for improvement. No explicit incident response or security contact information was found, which could impact responsiveness to security events. Overall, Zoonou presents a professional, trustworthy, and socially responsible brand with solid technical infrastructure but with room to enhance its security posture and performance. Strategic improvements in TLS support, DNS security, and transparency around vulnerability management would strengthen their risk profile and client confidence.

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 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Zoonou operates in a competitive niche of software testing and QA services with a unique employee-owned business model that differentiates it in the UK market. Their B Corp certification and multiple industry accreditations position them as a socially responsible and quality-focused provider. The company targets a broad range of sectors including government, healthcare, education, non-profits, and technology firms, emphasizing values-driven partnerships. Their service portfolio is extensive, covering manual and automated testing, accessibility, cybersecurity, and cloud configuration reviews, which supports diversified revenue streams. The integration with marketing platforms like HubSpot and active social media presence indicate a mature digital marketing strategy. The company’s growth is supported by strong client testimonials and case studies, reinforcing their market credibility. Partnerships with Zoho and UK2.net for email and hosting services reflect a reliance on established service providers. Overall, Zoonou demonstrates a well-rounded business with clear strategic focus and growth potential.

Security posture

Zoonou exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with valid SSL certificates and HSTS enabled, mitigating common web-based attacks. The absence of vulnerable SSL/TLS protocols and cipher suites is positive. However, the lack of TLS 1.2 or higher support is a critical gap that could expose users to downgrade attacks or insecure connections. The DNS configuration lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, which are important for DNS integrity and certificate issuance control. No explicit security policy, incident response plan, or security contact information is published, which may delay response to security incidents. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating an established information security management system, but this is not explicitly linked to a public security policy. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate GDPR compliance and user privacy awareness. Overall, while foundational security controls are in place, enhancements in protocol support, DNS security, and transparency around vulnerability management are recommended to elevate the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols on the web server to ensure secure communications and compatibility with modern browsers.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and configure CAA records to protect DNS integrity and restrict unauthorized certificate issuance.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and a clear vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website to enhance responsiveness and trust.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO rankings.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including React and Lenis for smooth scrolling. It leverages HubSpot for marketing automation, analytics, and cookie consent management, and Umbraco CMS for content management. Hosting is provided by UK2.net, as indicated by DNS nameservers. The SSL certificate is issued by GeoTrust with a strong RSA 2048-bit key but lacks support for modern TLS protocols, which is a technical risk. Performance metrics show a slow load time (~20.5 seconds) and a large page size (~508 KB) with 53 resources, indicating potential for optimization. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated good, supported by dedicated accessibility services and compliance certifications. SEO is well addressed with appropriate metadata and Open Graph tags. The technical stack is mature but requires updates to security protocols and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
