Asphalt Plant Solutions is a UK-based small business specializing in brokering new and used asphalt plants and related equipment globally. The company offers technical consultancy, after-sales support, and supplies bitumen and additives through an international network. Their website is built on WordPress, featuring modern SEO and privacy compliance tools such as Yoast SEO and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner.

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

8 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 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';…

  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

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 positions itself as a global expert and broker in the asphalt production industry, targeting contractors and manufacturers worldwide. Their business model focuses on negotiation and sourcing, supported by technical consultancy and supply chain facilitation. Partnerships with platforms like Highways.Today enhance their market reach. The firm appears to be recently established (2021) but maintains credible domain registration and a professional digital footprint. Growth potential lies in expanding direct contact channels and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC, Content-Security-Policy, and other security headers suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder trust from security-conscious clients. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a small business but requiring enhancements for enterprise-grade assurance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other security headers (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options).
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add direct contact details such as company email and phone number to improve trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO and Cookie Law Info plugins, ensuring good SEO and privacy compliance. Google reCAPTCHA v2 (invisible) is integrated for form protection. The site loads moderate performance assets and is mobile optimized with responsive design. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting is via IONOS SE with DNS managed by UI-DNS servers. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies detected, but security headers and DNSSEC are missing, representing technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs adequately with opportunities for modernization.
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.
