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

Corroy Products is a UK-based specialist supplier of industrial power tools and accessories, focusing on brands such as Bosch, Festool, Fein, and Trend. The company targets specialist contractors and tradespeople, offering advice, onsite demonstrations, and a wide range of fixings and consumables. Their business model centers on wholesale and trade counter sales rather than direct online commerce, with a physical location in Walsall. Technically, the website is basic but functional, using standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with tracking via Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers and privacy policies, which impacts compliance and trust. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable and flagged as invalid by the registry, raising legitimacy concerns, though the website content and contact details suggest a legitimate small business. Overall, the site is safe and relevant but requires improvements in security and privacy 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.

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

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

Corroy Products operates in the retail and manufacturing sectors, serving specialist contractors and local authorities in the West Midlands. Their competitive advantage lies in specialist knowledge, onsite support, and a broad product range from reputable brands. The business model is trade-focused with a physical counter and no direct e-commerce. Revenue streams likely come from wholesale sales and distribution agreements. The company maintains partnerships with major tool brands and uses a third-party platform (TABS For Tools) for website management. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the presence of specialist distribution rights suggests a stable market position. Strategic observations include the need to enhance digital presence and compliance to support future growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no privacy or cookie policy, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires significant enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Add incident response contact information and establish a security policy to improve preparedness and transparency.
  4. Review and secure all forms with CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update website technology to improve performance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML/CSS/JavaScript stack with no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. It includes asynchronous loading of Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics scripts for tracking. The site is hosted with HTTPS enabled, but no hosting provider or CDN information is available. Performance appears moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site is functional but could benefit from modernization, improved mobile responsiveness, and enhanced accessibility compliance to improve user experience and search engine visibility.
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.
