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

Aaron Industries is a well-established manufacturer and distributor specializing in recycled polymer compounds, including post-consumer and post-industrial resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and elastomers. With over 30 years of expertise, the company offers a range of services including custom compounding, toll compounding, blending, pulverizing, and resin distribution. Their focus on sustainability and cost-effective recycled materials positions them as a leader in their niche market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting manufacturers and businesses requiring recycled polymer materials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor framework, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Swiper for enhanced user experience. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with good performance and basic accessibility features, though SEO and privacy compliance could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain-level protections such as EPP status locks. However, it lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended to enhance security posture. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are found, indicating gaps in compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a concern for security transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a solid business foundation but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security headers, and explicit policies to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

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

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Aaron Industries operates in the manufacturing sector focusing on recycled polymer materials, serving a B2B market of manufacturers and product developers. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive inventory, custom formulation capabilities, and sustainability focus. The business model combines manufacturing with distribution, offering both standard and custom solutions. The company maintains a moderate size with a long operational history since 1999, supported by certifications such as Greencircle. Their digital presence includes social media channels for brand engagement. Growth indicators include recent news posts about expanded capabilities and sustainability efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes industry associations like MassRecycle. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital compliance and security to align with industry best practices.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and domain-level EPP locks, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency and preparedness. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR and cookie consent. The security culture appears basic with room for improvement in formalizing policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and technical debt.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, supported by common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Swiper for UI components. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. There is no evidence of technical debt or broken elements, but privacy and security compliance require enhancements to meet modern standards.
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.
