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

A-Field Transport Ltd is a UK-based logistics and transport company specializing in nationwide haulage and secure warehousing solutions. Operating dual terminals in Halifax and Elland, the company targets businesses requiring reliable distribution and storage services. The website presents a professional image with clear service descriptions and contact information, supported by a FORS Gold accreditation that enhances trust. Technically, the website uses modern web fonts and iconography with a clean, responsive design. However, it lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications and does not include analytics or tracking scripts, suggesting a minimalistic digital footprint. The absence of privacy and cookie policies highlights compliance gaps, and no security headers were detected, indicating room for security improvements. Security posture is moderate with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed data, but the domain WHOIS data reveals registration issues due to non-compliance with Nominet UK naming rules, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires enhancements in security headers, privacy compliance, and domain registration legitimacy to improve trust and reduce risk.

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. 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 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 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

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 positions itself as a reliable and innovative logistics provider in the UK transportation sector, leveraging dual terminals and secure storage facilities to serve business clients nationwide. Its FORS Gold accreditation is a competitive advantage signaling high operational standards. The business model focuses on full load haulage and smart storage solutions, targeting commercial customers needing efficient supply chain support. The website content and contact details support a small-sized enterprise with a focused market niche. Lack of social media presence and limited digital marketing tools suggest a traditional or localized business approach. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and published security or incident response policies indicates gaps in security best practices. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The domain registration failure per WHOIS data is a significant concern, potentially impacting trust and legitimacy. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, limiting the organization's ability to manage security incidents effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify configuration.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration issues with Nominet UK to ensure legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5 and CSS3, enhanced by Google Fonts and Font Awesome icons for visual appeal. It lacks advanced JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms, indicating a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA landmarks or advanced semantic markup detected. SEO optimization is minimal, with basic meta tags but no Open Graph or structured data present. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, which reduces user tracking but also limits marketing insights. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data.
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.
