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

Autoshine and Tinting Ltd is a specialized automotive service provider based in the UK, focusing on window tinting, vehicle wrapping, and paint protection film (PPF). Established since 2002, the company holds multiple manufacturer accreditations including 3M, XPEL, and Suntek, positioning itself as a leading regional expert in vehicle enhancement and protection. Their services cater primarily to vehicle owners in Telford, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham, offering both retail and training courses. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive service descriptions and customer testimonials. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various multimedia integrations such as YouTube embeds and Instagram galleries. It uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, alongside a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though some security headers and explicit security policies are absent. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could be improved. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, limiting domain legitimacy verification. However, the website content and business information appear credible and professional. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and well-maintained digital presence for a small specialized business, with room for enhancements in security transparency and domain registration clarity.

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 transportation sector, specifically automotive customization and protection services. Their competitive advantage lies in manufacturer certifications and a long-standing presence since 2002. The business model is service-oriented, targeting individual vehicle owners and dealerships. Revenue streams likely include direct service sales, training courses, and possibly retail of related products. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized brands like 3M, XPEL, Avery Dennison, and Hexis. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and multimedia content showcasing projects. Strategic observations suggest a focus on quality, expertise, and regional market leadership.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by the cookie banner and privacy policy. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. The security culture appears basic but could benefit from formalized disclosures and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response information, including a security.txt file, to improve transparency and readiness for vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Conduct a security audit of all forms to ensure anti-CSRF tokens and input validation are in place to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and resolve WHOIS inconsistencies to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is built on a stable and widely used technology stack including Bootstrap 3.3.7 and jQuery 3.2.1, supplemented by Owl Carousel and Fancybox for UI components. Analytics and marketing integrations are robust, leveraging Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Technical risks include outdated library versions and missing security headers which could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
