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

Agripower Contractors Limited is a UK-based specialist company focused on natural and artificial sports surface construction, landscaping, drainage, and environmental works. Established in 1964, the company serves a diverse clientele including universities, schools, sports clubs, local authorities, and premier league football clubs. Their business model centers on providing turnkey solutions from design and consultancy through to construction and maintenance, supported by a skilled in-house workforce and a comprehensive fleet of machinery. The company holds multiple industry certifications and affiliations, reinforcing its market position as a leading sports surface specialist in the UK. Technically, the website employs a legacy but functional technology stack including Bootstrap 3, jQuery, Font Awesome 4.7, and Google Fonts. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content quality, though some technical debt is evident such as outdated libraries and an invalid Statcounter analytics code snippet. Privacy compliance is addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism, though GDPR-specific details are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and has some minor issues like the invalid analytics code. No forms collecting sensitive data were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate risk. However, the WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error from Nominet UK, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional appearance and business credibility of the website. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and presentation but should address the WHOIS anomaly and improve security headers and analytics implementation to enhance trust and security posture. Strategic recommendations include verifying domain registration status, implementing security headers, updating analytics code, and continuin…

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

5 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. Network security

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

    • 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

  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 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';…

  4. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Agripower Contractors operates in a niche market of sports surface construction and landscaping with a strong UK presence and over 50 years of experience. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive turnkey service offering, in-house skilled workforce, and multiple industry certifications. Revenue streams likely come from construction contracts with educational institutions, sports clubs, local authorities, and private clients. The company targets a professional audience requiring high-quality sports surfaces and related civil engineering works. Growth indicators include recent equipment investments and multiple featured case studies showcasing high-profile projects. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliations with industry bodies and certification organizations, enhancing credibility and market reach. Operationally, the company emphasizes quality, trust, and repeat business, positioning itself as a reliable specialist in its sector.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and has a cookie consent mechanism, indicating basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. The invalid Statcounter code suggests a lack of maintenance in third-party integrations. No forms with sensitive data were detected on the homepage, minimizing immediate exposure. The WHOIS data anomaly is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. There is no evidence of an incident response policy or security framework documentation. Compliance with GDPR appears basic but present. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a brochure website but requires improvements to meet higher standards and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and resolve the domain registration issue with Nominet UK to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  2. Implement essential HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Update and validate all third-party analytics scripts, including Statcounter, to ensure accurate data collection and security.
  4. Conduct a comprehensive security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities or outdated components.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed GDPR information and appointing a Data Protection Officer if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy technology stack featuring Bootstrap 3, jQuery, and Font Awesome 4.7, which are functional but outdated. The site is mobile responsive and has good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with no explicit hosting provider identified. The use of Google Fonts and external CDN resources is standard. The site lacks modern CMS indicators and appears to be a custom or static site. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present. Technical debt is indicated by the use of older libraries and an invalid analytics script. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations to reduce technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
