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

AGS is a UK-based company specializing in architectural glass systems, providing bespoke glazing solutions for both residential and commercial projects. With over 35 years of experience, AGS offers a comprehensive service from design and consultation through to manufacturing and installation. The company positions itself as a trusted regional provider with a strong portfolio and customer testimonials, emphasizing quality and warranty-backed products. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and cookie consent tools such as Yoast SEO and Cookiebot. The site is mobile-optimized and includes marketing integrations like Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Hosting is provided by 123-Reg Limited, a reputable UK registrar and hosting provider. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is good regarding cookie management but lacks a visible privacy policy page. Overall, AGS presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with room for improvement in privacy documentation and security policy transparency. The risk level is low, but enhancing security headers and publishing incident response information would strengthen their security posture.

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 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';…

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

AGS operates in the real estate and manufacturing sectors, focusing on architectural glazing products and installation services. Their business model targets both residential and commercial clients, including architects and builders. The company leverages a warranty-backed product offering and a portfolio of completed projects to maintain competitive advantage. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a regional market focus in the UK. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies suggests independent operation. Marketing efforts include digital tracking and cookie compliance, supporting customer engagement and lead generation. Strategic partnerships or related domains were not identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot. The use of Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks a visible privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy page detailing data processing practices to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet compliance standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing common plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The tech stack includes jQuery and external resources from CDNs like Cloudflare and Google APIs. Hosting is provided by 123-Reg Limited, a known UK registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site includes marketing and analytics integrations such as Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Technical risks are low but could be reduced by updating security headers and ensuring all third-party components are up to date.
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.
