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

Chepstow Plant International is a UK-based company specializing in providing equipment and services for the earthmoving, quarrying, and civil engineering sectors. Founded in 1995, it has established itself as a trusted leader with a modern and sustainable mobile plant fleet. The company targets businesses and professionals in the construction and infrastructure industries, offering comprehensive solutions including earthworks, mineral extraction, and civil infrastructure maintenance. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its audience. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies such as Typekit fonts, Google Tag Manager, and analytics tools. It is hosted likely on Pressidium infrastructure, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The WHOIS data raises concerns due to an inconsistent domain creation date in the future, which conflicts with the company's stated founding year, impacting trustworthiness. No privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the website is professional and functional with good content quality and technical implementation. Security posture and privacy compliance require enhancements. The domain registration inconsistency is a notable risk factor. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing privacy and security policies, adding security headers, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

4 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048
  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

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

Chepstow Plant International operates in the UK’s earthmoving and civil engineering market, focusing on equipment provision and project services. Its competitive advantage lies in a modern, technologically advanced, and sustainable mobile plant fleet. The business model centers on service provision to construction and quarrying sectors, targeting corporate clients requiring large-scale earthworks and civil infrastructure solutions. The company’s growth is supported by strategic investments and innovation, positioning it as a market leader. The website’s social media presence and structured data usage indicate a mature digital marketing approach. However, the domain registration anomaly suggests potential operational or administrative issues that should be addressed to maintain credibility. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces its security posture. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The WHOIS data inconsistency regarding domain creation date is a significant concern, potentially indicating registration irregularities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is functional but requires improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation to reduce risk and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to meet legal and compliance requirements.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Investigate and correct the domain registration data inconsistency to align with the company’s founding date and improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with modern front-end technologies including Typekit fonts and Alpine.js for interactivity. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. Hosting appears to be with Pressidium, a reputable provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with some scope for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced to meet higher standards. No critical technical vulnerabilities were identified in the HTML content. The domain’s DNS configuration lacks DNSSEC, which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional business website but has room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
