Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.

Security score

67/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Abbey Precision Ltd is a UK-based precision engineering company specializing in CNC machining of metal and plastic components. With over 30 years of experience, they serve primarily automotive, defence, scientific, and medical sectors. Their business model focuses on B2B manufacturing services, emphasizing quality and precision. The website reflects a professional and established market position with clear service offerings and certifications such as ISO 9001. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools, hosted on a CDN-backed platform with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though lacking some security headers and formal privacy documentation. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security transparency. The missing WHOIS registration data is a concern and should be investigated to confirm domain legitimacy.

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. 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

  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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Abbey Precision operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on precision CNC machining. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing UK presence and ISO 9001 certification. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-precision components, mainly in automotive and defence. The website indicates a traditional manufacturing business model with direct client engagement and no evident e-commerce. Partnerships such as with Pope and Meads Ltd suggest a collaborative operational approach. The digital presence is professional but lacks comprehensive compliance documentation, which may impact trust with privacy-conscious clients. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website and active social media presence on LinkedIn.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable analytics platforms, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies highlight gaps in security best practices. No forms or input fields on the homepage reduce attack surface, but the lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files limits transparency. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could pose risks of domain spoofing or hijacking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced headers, documented policies, and domain registration verification.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Investigate and verify domain WHOIS registration to ensure domain legitimacy and prevent potential spoofing.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency and responsible reporting.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility features to enhance user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform (MultiScreenSite) with a tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Snowplow Analytics, and skrollr.js for animations. Hosting is via CDN providers ensuring good availability. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site uses modern SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. No forms are present on the homepage, limiting data collection points. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization in accessibility and security headers.
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.
