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

CEE Norm UK Ltd is a UK-based distributor specializing in industrial electrical products including plugs, sockets, connectors, transformers, and custom-built distribution units. They serve the UK electrical trade and industry professionals, holding exclusive distribution rights for Bals products and operating subsidiaries such as Cablecaddy. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive product information and resources. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack with Bootstrap and jQuery, though some libraries are older versions. Security posture is good with HTTPS and cookie consent, but lacks some security headers and an incident response contact. WHOIS data was not retrievable due to querying a subdomain, but business registration details confirm legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche.

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. 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. 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 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';…

  3. 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 a B2B distribution model focused on industrial electrical components and custom solutions. Their exclusive UK distribution agreements and in-house custom-build team provide competitive advantages. The presence of subsidiaries and partnerships with brands like Cablecaddy and Transpower expand their product portfolio. The website supports sales and marketing with detailed catalogs, brochures, and social media engagement. The target market is professional electricians and industrial clients in the UK. The company appears medium-sized with established business credentials and a consistent brand presence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy and security compliance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of an incident response or security contact page is a gap in security readiness. Updating JavaScript libraries and adding a vulnerability disclosure policy would enhance security maturity. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries to latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a dedicated incident response or security contact page to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and test website security to maintain compliance and protect customer data.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap 3.3.7, jQuery 1.9.1, and several plugins such as Owl Carousel and Font Awesome for UI and interactivity. While functional and mobile-optimized, some libraries are outdated, which could pose security risks. The site is hosted on an unknown provider with no explicit CMS detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
