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

BSP TEX is a well-established UK-based manufacturer specializing in hydraulic piling hammers, ground improvement equipment, and road maintenance machinery with over 117 years of industry experience. The company operates under the TEX GROUP umbrella and offers a broad range of products including piling rigs, rapid impact compactors, road machinery, custom trailers, and stainless steel enclosures. Their market position is strong, supported by certifications such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, indicating a commitment to quality and security. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Slick Carousel, delivering a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is well-structured with clear navigation, comprehensive content, and active news updates, reflecting a mature digital presence. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, though the business information and certifications mitigate this concern. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the content. Overall, BSP TEX presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with solid business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and WHOIS data clarity would further enhance trust and security posture.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain www.bsp-if.com points to unregistered service d3b9emhzsmympe.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

BSP TEX operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on construction and infrastructure equipment. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing history, comprehensive product range, and integration within the TEX GROUP. Revenue streams likely include direct product sales, equipment hire, and subcontracted manufacturing services. The target customers are construction firms, civil engineers, and infrastructure maintenance companies. The company demonstrates growth through active news updates and strategic partnerships within the TEX GROUP. Their ecosystem includes subsidiaries specializing in related manufacturing fields, enhancing their market reach and capabilities.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The website enforces HTTPS and cookie consent, indicating awareness of privacy and security regulations. Certifications such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus further support their security posture. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact reduce transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Enhancing security headers and publishing incident response information would improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security or incident response page with contact details for reporting vulnerabilities or incidents.
  3. Establish and publicly share a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities promptly.
  5. Clarify domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using widely adopted libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. The use of Slick Carousel enhances user engagement with dynamic content. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. However, the CMS appears custom or proprietary, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The absence of explicit hosting provider information limits infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals effectively but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
