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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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. 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

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 business operates in the transportation sector, specializing in automotive chemical products such as engine restorers, oil additives, and fuel treatments. Its business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a niche focus on engine restoration solutions. The company benefits from positive customer reviews, including over 500 positive eBay reviews, and maintains active social media channels for engagement. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a strong market position within its niche. The company is registered in the UK with a valid registration number, enhancing credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure payment methods. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact information represents a compliance gap. The cookie policy exists but lacks an explicit consent mechanism, which could be improved to enhance GDPR compliance. Overall, the site follows many best practices but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement an explicit cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy outlining data protection and security practices.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the EKM ecommerce platform using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and uses Splide.js for interactive sliders. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and assets from CDN providers, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the business profile. No critical technical issues were detected.
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.
