Risk levelMedium

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

Carryduff Concrete Ltd is a small, local business specializing in ready mix concrete supply and delivery services within Northern Ireland. Established since 1997, the company serves a diverse clientele including DIY customers, trade professionals, farmers, and construction contractors. Their website highlights key service areas such as domestic, housing, agricultural, and industrial concrete applications, positioning them as a trusted regional supplier. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern technologies like Bootstrap and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in compliance with data protection best practices. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled, but lacks security headers and formal security policies. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and domain registration transparency are recommended to enhance credibility and security.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 manufacturing and construction sectors, focusing on concrete supply and delivery. Their business model is service-oriented, catering to both individual and commercial customers within a defined geographic radius. Testimonials on the site indicate strong customer satisfaction and reliability. The use of a concrete calculator link suggests an effort to engage customers with practical tools. The company does not appear to have subsidiaries or partners listed on the site. The lack of visible certifications or formal security policies suggests opportunities for strengthening market position through compliance and trust-building measures.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, limiting transparency in security management. The site uses common third-party scripts including Google Analytics and jQuery, which appear up-to-date with no known vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is a risk under GDPR regulations given the UK jurisdiction. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with basic security headers and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and update them to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a Bootstrap-based theme, leveraging jQuery and several plugins including Yoast SEO and FooBox Lightbox. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and moderate performance. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is enhanced by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
