Risk levelHigh

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

accumac is a small UK-based business specializing in technical support and consultation services for pharmaceutical tabletting machinery. The company offers expertise in machinery surveys, operator training, refurbishment, and validation services, targeting pharmaceutical manufacturers and associated industries. The website content is professional but basic, reflecting a niche consultancy business with a focused service offering. Technically, the website is built with simple HTML and lacks modern frameworks or CMS, with poor mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the active website presence. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trust and user experience.

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

8 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 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

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

accumac operates in a specialized manufacturing niche, providing consulting and technical services for pharmaceutical tabletting machinery. The business model revolves around expert consultancy, machinery assessment, and training services. The company appears to have a stable market position within its niche but lacks visible digital maturity and modern marketing or analytics tools. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The absence of contact details and policies online may limit customer engagement and trust. Growth potential exists if digital presence and compliance are improved.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. The lack of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception. No security headers or incident response information are present, and no privacy or cookie policies indicate non-compliance with GDPR. No forms or data collection mechanisms reduce attack surface but also limit functionality. The WHOIS inconsistency adds to trust concerns. Immediate remediation of HTTPS and privacy compliance is recommended to reduce risk and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance transparency.
  3. Publish clear contact information including company email and phone number to improve credibility.
  4. Improve website mobile responsiveness and accessibility to meet modern standards.
  5. Add security headers and consider implementing an incident response contact channel.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and inline CSS, lacking modern web technologies or CMS platforms. No JavaScript frameworks or analytics tools are detected. The site performance is moderate but mobile optimization and accessibility are poor. The absence of meta tags beyond basic keywords limits SEO effectiveness. No external scripts or libraries are used, reducing complexity but also limiting functionality. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not available. Technical modernization including responsive design, SEO improvements, and security enhancements would benefit the site.
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.
