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

Custom Profiles Ltd is a UK-based leading independent supplier and stockholder of aluminium extrusions, serving manufacturing industries since 2005. They offer a comprehensive range of services including supply, fabrication, finishing, and stockholding of aluminium profiles, targeting customers across the UK, Europe, and worldwide. The website is professionally designed, well-structured, and optimized for SEO, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7, and integrates Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of CAPTCHA, but lacks some security headers and explicit incident response or security policy disclosures. WHOIS data is missing, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. Contact information and social media presence are comprehensive, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website is functional, secure, and business-focused but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and domain registration transparency.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Custom Profiles Ltd occupies a strong market position as a competitive and knowledgeable supplier of aluminium extrusions in the UK manufacturing sector. Their business model focuses on B2B supply and value-added services including fabrication and finishing, enabling them to serve diverse sectors such as construction, electronics, road transport, retail, and lighting. The company emphasizes personalized service and expertise, which differentiates them from competitors. Their digital ecosystem includes active social media channels and a well-maintained website that supports lead generation through quote requests and detailed product information. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable gap, but the company’s operational footprint and contact transparency suggest legitimate business operations. Growth potential is supported by sector diversity and comprehensive service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses up-to-date WordPress and plugins, but continuous monitoring and patching are recommended. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms despite GDPR applicability. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, privacy controls, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about cookie usage.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.0.12, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, Slider Revolution for dynamic content presentation, and Contact Form 7 for form management. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking and marketing analytics. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and Google Maps API, enhancing user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.6.0. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable and supports the business needs effectively, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance further.
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.
