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

ATL Transformers UK is a specialized small business operating in the energy and manufacturing sector, focusing on the supply, repair, and maintenance of electrical transformers. The company targets industrial and commercial clients within the UK market. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies such as Google reCAPTCHA for form security and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The technical infrastructure is moderate in performance and mobile optimization, with basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot measures, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website presents a professional image with consistent branding and relevant content, but could improve 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
    • 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';…

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 operates in a niche market providing transformer-related products and services, positioning itself as a reliable UK-based supplier and service provider. The business model is B2B, serving industrial clients requiring electrical transformer solutions. The domain age of 9+ years supports business maturity. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the website suggests a preference for controlled communication via contact forms. The company does not publicly display certifications or trust badges, which could be an area for enhancement to boost credibility. Marketing and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used, indicating some level of digital marketing sophistication.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that help mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance to some extent. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing contact transparency for incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Provide direct contact information such as company email addresses and phone numbers to improve communication transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to demonstrate security maturity and incident readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, leveraging common web technologies including jQuery, Google Fonts, FontAwesome, and Google reCAPTCHA. The site loads multiple scripts asynchronously and uses cookie consent scripts from CookieYes. Performance is moderate with preloading of key scripts and fonts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data is not detected in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the registrar is a UK-based company. The technical stack is standard for small business websites but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO improvements.
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.
