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

AGM Belfast Ltd is a small wholesale supplier based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, specializing in contractor's tools, traffic management products, personal protective equipment (PPE), janitorial, and safety equipment. The company targets wholesalers and trade customers across Northern Ireland, mainland UK, and the Republic of Ireland. Their website presents a professional product catalog and highlights partnerships with known brands such as Bulldog Tools, Spear & Jackson, Eclipse, and JSP Safety Products. Technically, the website is built on the IONOS MyWebsite CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and basic mobile responsiveness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and captcha protection on forms, but lacks important security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent and privacy policy. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency are recommended to enhance trust and 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

8 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. 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';…

  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

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

The company operates in the transportation and retail sectors, focusing on supplying essential safety and contractor tools to trade customers. Their business model is wholesale distribution with a regional focus on Northern Ireland and surrounding markets. The website content and external links to reputable tool manufacturers indicate established supplier relationships. However, the lack of detailed company founding information and missing WHOIS data limit deeper business intelligence insights. The company maintains a basic digital presence with room for growth in digital marketing and compliance maturity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and basic anti-spam measures such as captcha on guestbook forms, indicating some security awareness. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies expose the site to potential security and compliance risks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which may hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. The missing WHOIS data further complicates trust verification. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Enhance form security with CSRF protection and input validation to prevent abuse.
  5. Establish a security incident response contact channel and disclose it on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the IONOS MyWebsite CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and Google Analytics for functionality and tracking. It integrates external RSS feeds from BBC and Reuters for news content. The site uses multiple CDN domains for resource delivery, which may improve load times but also increases external dependencies. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. The technical stack is somewhat dated with legacy Google Analytics (ga.js) and lacks modern frontend frameworks or advanced SEO optimizations. There is opportunity to modernize the tech stack, improve accessibility, and enhance SEO for better user experience and search visibility.
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.
