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

COMPASS Division is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of diving equipment, including breathing systems, buoyancy devices, and drysuits, serving military professionals, first responders, and commercial divers globally. The company has a longstanding history dating back to the 1960s and operates under the parent company Huish Outdoors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and product offerings. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and Bootstrap, providing a responsive and accessible user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent management via Osano, though some security headers and policies are absent. The lack of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional, professional, and compliant with basic privacy standards.

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. 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

  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 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';…

  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

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 targets niche markets of military and professional divers, leveraging decades of industry experience and partnerships with elite teams. Its business model focuses on manufacturing and direct sales of high-quality diving equipment. The presence of a parent company, Huish Outdoors, suggests a stable corporate structure. The website's integration with WooCommerce indicates e-commerce capabilities, supporting direct customer engagement. Marketing tools and tracking are minimal and privacy-conscious, aligning with professional standards. The partnership with Duck Diver Marketing highlights a strategic approach to digital presence. Growth potential is supported by clear branding and product segmentation, though expansion could benefit from enhanced transparency in security and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Osano. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security is a gap. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The WHOIS data absence raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, which should be investigated further. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation to improve defense-in-depth.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration details to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Bootstrap 4 for responsive design. It uses jQuery and integrates Osano for consent management, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with standard CDN usage for fonts and scripts. Accessibility features are present, including ARIA roles and keyboard navigability. The site lacks some advanced SEO meta tags and security headers but maintains a clean and professional codebase. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience with room for security and SEO enhancements.
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.
