Adept GRP Cabinets is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in GRP cabinets, enclosures, and steel kiosks. The company emphasizes UK-made, weather-resistant products with secure locking mechanisms and nationwide delivery, targeting industrial and commercial sectors requiring durable enclosures. The website reflects a professional digital presence built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Elementor, supporting e-commerce capabilities and product search. The technical infrastructure includes modern tracking and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Google Ads, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are absent.

Overall, the website is well-structured, trustworthy, and business-focused, with room for improvement in privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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. 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 · 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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on GRP and steel enclosures for various industries. Its business model combines manufacturing with direct online sales, supported by a WooCommerce platform. The target audience includes UK businesses needing robust, weather-resistant cabinets and kiosks. The presence of Google Reviews and structured data enhances trust and SEO. The company appears small-sized with a focused product range and a clear UK geographic focus. The lack of detailed WHOIS data slightly impacts credibility but does not detract from the professional presentation and market positioning. Marketing efforts leverage Google Ads and analytics for customer acquisition and retargeting. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The overall security posture is good for a small manufacturing business website but could be enhanced by adding explicit security policies, headers, and incident response contacts to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as a security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included and maintain up-to-date software versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building, indicating a modern and flexible technical stack. It uses standard web technologies including jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ads for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided HTML. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and rich snippets, improving search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy disclosures.
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.
