79/100

Risk levelLow

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

Algeco UK operates as a leading provider of modular buildings, site accommodation, and shipping containers across the UK and Europe. The company offers a broad range of temporary and permanent modular building solutions tailored to sectors such as construction, education, healthcare, and energy. Their market position is strong, supported by a large fleet and nationwide service centers. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with modern libraries and includes cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing security headers and publishing security policies. Overall, the website is professional, accessible, and trustworthy, though WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust verification.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

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

Algeco UK targets business and institutional clients requiring modular and portable building solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive fleet, comprehensive service offerings including turnkey project management, and a strong presence across multiple European countries. The business model focuses on rental and sales of modular buildings and related services. The website reflects a mature business with consistent branding and detailed sector-specific content. Partnerships with country-specific Algeco sites indicate a broad operational footprint. Growth indicators include diverse product lines and sustainability initiatives.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes cookie consent, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which may limit preparedness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate readiness and transparency.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them to latest secure versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and canonical URLs. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of scripts and images. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from 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.
