Security score

67/100

Risk levelMedium

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

APS GB Ltd operates a professional website focused on HGV fleet services, vehicle maintenance, and repair solutions primarily serving Chesterfield, Derbyshire, and the Midlands in the UK. The company positions itself as a specialist with over 10 years of experience, offering a range of services including fleet management, repair and maintenance contracts, mobile repairs, and bodywork services. The website content is well-structured, informative, and targets fleet managers and commercial vehicle operators. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The presence of Google Tag Manager suggests some analytics and tracking capabilities, though privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no explicit security headers were detected, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms are present. The WHOIS data is unavailable or missing, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy and reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from improved compliance and security measures.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

APS GB Ltd serves a niche market in transportation, focusing on commercial vehicle maintenance and fleet services. Their business model revolves around service contracts and pay-as-you-go maintenance, targeting fleet managers and individual hauliers. The company leverages positive customer testimonials and local reputation to maintain market position. The website supports lead generation through contact forms and clear contact details. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with a regional focus. The lack of WHOIS transparency may impact business credibility externally.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard WordPress security practices but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, and no security certifications are visible. Contact forms are present with validation, but no anti-bot or CAPTCHA mechanisms are evident. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Verify domain registration status and update WHOIS information to enhance trust and legitimacy.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve security.
  5. Consider publishing an incident response plan or security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.1.4 with popular plugins including Yoast SEO, Revolution Slider, and Contact Form 7. It uses jQuery and GSAP for animations and interactive elements. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider elements. Accessibility is basic but present. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details are evident. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites 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.
