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

Accutool Ltd is a well-established precision engineering company based in Dublin, Ireland, with over 40 years of experience since its incorporation in 1985. The company specializes in providing engineering solutions including 3D design, precision CNC machining, assembly and test, welding and fabrication, and machine building products. Serving multiple regulated and industrial sectors such as BioPharma, Aerospace, Oil and Gas, Orthopaedics, Semiconductor, and Food and Beverage, Accutool maintains a strong market position supported by ISO 9001 certification and reputable partnerships. The website reflects a professional digital presence built on WordPress with the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks a dedicated privacy policy page and explicit security or incident response policies, which are areas for improvement. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced, but security headers are missing, and no vulnerability disclosures or incident contacts are published. Overall, the website and business demonstrate credibility and professionalism, with moderate technical maturity and room for enhanced privacy and security compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  4. 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"

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

Accutool operates as a B2B precision engineering service provider with a diversified portfolio of manufacturing and design services. Their global sales and multiple manufacturing facilities in Dublin and Cork support a broad client base in highly regulated sectors. The company leverages strong engineering capabilities and a solid financial base, positioning itself as a trusted partner for multinational companies requiring high-quality manufacturing products and technical support. The presence of customer testimonials and partner logos further strengthens their market credibility. The business model focuses on engineering excellence, quality assurance, and compliance with industry standards, enabling sustained growth and competitive advantage. The website's content and structure support clear communication of services and sectors served, targeting industrial clients and engineering professionals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and implements a GDPR cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of third-party plugins and libraries like jQuery and Divi theme necessitates regular vulnerability assessments to mitigate risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in security headers, policy disclosures, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, supplemented by plugins such as Supreme Modules Pro, Divi Toolbox, and GDPR Cookie Compliance. It uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are employed for user tracking and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and lazy loading for images, contributing to moderate performance. However, no advanced hosting or CDN information was detected. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, but SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security features.
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.
