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

Atomic Flooring is a specialized flooring company based in Cape Town, South Africa, offering a wide range of flooring solutions including cement, concrete, epoxy, microcement, screed, quartz, and resin flooring. The company targets homeowners, business owners, architects, and interior designers, positioning itself as a leading flooring service provider with over two decades of industry experience. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and contact information. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and related plugins, hosted by xneelo, and incorporates modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Hotjar with consent mode enabled. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks some advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

7 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 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

The company operates in the real estate and hospitality sectors providing flooring solutions that cater to both residential and commercial clients. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on high-quality craftsmanship and customer service. The website's SEO and content strategy emphasize educational articles and portfolio showcases, supporting lead generation and customer engagement. The presence of social media links and Google verification indicates active digital marketing efforts. The domain registration aligns with the business location and owner, enhancing credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google Tag Manager and Hotjar with consent mode, indicating awareness of privacy and tracking concerns. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a moderate security gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could impact trust from a security perspective. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to latest versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor page builder and several add-ons for enhanced UI/UX. It uses Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, with consent mode configured for privacy compliance. Hosting is provided by xneelo, a reputable South African hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and image optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced with ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation improvements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but has room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
