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

Coxhoe Service & Supply is a small UK-based business specializing in the sale, service, and hire of industrial cleaning equipment such as pressure washers, floor cleaning machines, and heaters. Positioned as a premier regional supplier in the North East of England, the company targets commercial and industrial clients requiring cleaning solutions and spare parts. The website is built on the EKM ecommerce platform and uses legacy technologies like jQuery 1.4.2, with basic SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking modern security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. Overall, the website is functional and business-focused but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance 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.

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

4 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 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 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

  3. 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 256-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

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 model focused on industrial cleaning sectors including food industry hygiene, car wash, and floorcare. Their offerings include equipment sales, servicing, and hire, supported by a stock of spare parts and reconditioned machines. The website references partnerships with known industry brands, indicating a networked supplier ecosystem. The business appears stable but small in scale, with limited digital maturity and basic online presence. No direct company emails or physical addresses are provided, which may limit customer trust. The site includes testimonials and a customer login area, supporting customer engagement and repeat business.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and secure login forms but lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are critical for modern web security. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, and cookie consent mechanisms are absent, indicating gaps in GDPR compliance. No evidence of advanced security frameworks or certifications is present. The missing WHOIS data further reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to protect customer data and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add explicit cookie consent banners and mechanisms to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the EKM ecommerce platform and uses legacy JavaScript libraries, which may impact performance and security. The site has moderate loading speed and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, but privacy compliance is minimal. There is opportunity to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance user experience through responsive design 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.
