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

A & D Door Systems Ltd is a well-established family-owned business specializing in the installation, repair, and maintenance of industrial and commercial doors, roller shutters, and security systems across the UK. With over 25 years of experience, the company offers a comprehensive range of products and services including emergency 24/7 repair, multi-site contracts, and tailored maintenance plans. Their market position is strengthened by strong customer loyalty, certifications, and a focus on quality and service. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and Avia framework, incorporating modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks some security headers that could enhance protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy present but no visible cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clear and comprehensive, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the business, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance would enhance its posture. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to querying the 'www' subdomain, but the website content and business information indicate legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, and enhancing incident response transparency.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  3. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

A & D Door Systems operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, targeting industrial and commercial clients needing door and security solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing family ownership, expert engineers, and comprehensive service offerings including emergency repairs and multi-site contracts. The business model focuses on service provision with tailored solutions and maintenance plans. Growth is indicated by a wide UK coverage and strong customer retention. Partnerships with certification bodies enhance trust. The company maintains a strong regional presence with plans for nationwide service expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is partial; while a detailed privacy policy exists, cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The use of third-party analytics and tracking tools introduces moderate user tracking. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels to improve security transparency.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to reduce risk of vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress platform using the Enfold theme and Avia framework, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. Analytics and user behavior tracking are implemented via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Hotjar. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading improving load times. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
