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

Air Control Industries Ltd is a well-established UK-based manufacturer specializing in industrial air movement solutions including fans, air knife systems, and blowers. With over 50 years of engineering excellence since its founding in 1969, the company serves industrial and manufacturing sectors globally. The website reflects a professional B2B business model targeting industrial clients requiring quality air delivery systems. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Divi theme and WooCommerce, integrating multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy are absent. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

3 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

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 holds a strong market position as a specialist in air movement manufacturing with a long operational history. Its business model focuses on B2B sales of engineered air delivery products. The website's integration with multiple marketing platforms indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at industrial clients. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern but may be due to privacy protection or domain registration issues. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company targets industrial sectors requiring air movement solutions, leveraging its engineering expertise as a competitive advantage. The website content quality and branding consistency support a credible business presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts is noted, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these dependencies is recommended. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but can be improved with better policy disclosures and security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It employs a variety of third-party marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight, and Bing UET. The site is mobile optimized and uses SEO best practices with Yoast SEO Premium. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential for improvement. The technical stack is mature but relies heavily on external scripts, which requires ongoing security vigilance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
