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

A W Baxter Limited is a family-owned independent logistics company established in 1992, specializing in bespoke global logistics services including UK Transport, European Road Freight, Export Packing, Air Freight, Sea Freight, Storage, and Cargo Handling. The company maintains a strong market position with long-term client relationships and a comprehensive service offering supported by a full fleet of haulage vehicles. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting businesses requiring logistics solutions primarily in the UK and Europe. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies on the site. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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

3 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

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

  3. 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 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';…

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, focusing on logistics and freight services. Its business model revolves around providing end-to-end logistics solutions including packing, consolidation, and freight forwarding. The firm leverages a client portal for operational transparency and maintains active social media channels for engagement. The domain age and registration details align with the company's history, supporting legitimacy. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found. The company targets medium to large businesses requiring complex logistics support, with a focus on UK and European markets. Growth indicators include a broad service portfolio and long-standing client relationships. The partnership ecosystem includes integration with Boxtrax for client logistics tracking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status flags clientTransferProhibited and clientUpdateProhibited enhance domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No security headers were detected in the provided content, and there is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, which requires careful configuration to avoid privacy issues. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be improved with enhanced DNS security, security headers, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics configurations to ensure privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google Fonts for typography. SVG graphics are used extensively for logos and icons, contributing to a scalable and visually consistent design. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements and clear navigation structure. Hosting and domain registration are managed through Tucows Domains Inc. with DNS servers at uk-noc.com and us-noc.com. Performance is moderate, with no major errors or broken elements detected in the HTML content. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. SEO optimization is good, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. No CMS was explicitly detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and 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.
