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

DEB Disposables Ltd is a UK-based distributor specializing in hygiene products and packaging, serving manufacturing, healthcare, food production, engineering, and education sectors primarily in Manchester and the North West. The company has a longstanding history since 1978 and offers a broad product range with trade pricing and fast local delivery. The website is professionally designed using modern technologies such as Vue.js, Stripe for payments, and Tawk.to for live chat support, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and CSRF protections, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published. Privacy compliance is addressed with cookie consent and privacy policies. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a naming rules error, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration consistency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and business-focused but would benefit from improved transparency on domain registration and enhanced security headers.

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. 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

  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

    • 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

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 distribution model targeting various industrial and service sectors with a comprehensive product catalog. Its competitive advantage lies in its local presence, extensive product range, and trade pricing. The website supports customer engagement through search functionality, account creation, and live chat. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration irregularities could impact trust but do not currently affect operational business functions. The company appears to maintain a stable market position with a focus on customer service and product availability. Partnerships with technology providers like Madison Web Solutions for website development and Stripe for payments indicate a professional ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, indicating baseline security hygiene. Integration with Stripe and Tawk.to suggests secure payment and communication channels. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but no dedicated security policy or DPO contact is found. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with modular scripts and asynchronous loading, contributing to good performance and responsiveness. Payment processing is handled via Stripe, a secure and widely trusted platform. Analytics are implemented using Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, supporting data-driven insights. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. However, no CMS is explicitly detected, and hosting provider details are not available. The site could benefit from enhanced security headers and more comprehensive accessibility features. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be improved with additional security and compliance measures.
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.
