Risk levelHigh

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

Delen Tooling is a small UK-based precision toolmaking company specializing in spark and wire erosion, CNC milling, and turning services since 1979. The company serves engineering and manufacturing sectors including motorsport and aerospace, emphasizing precision, reliability, and timely delivery. The website reflects a traditional business with a loyal customer base but lacks modern digital maturity features such as HTTPS and privacy policies. Technically, the site uses basic JavaScript and Google Analytics, running on a SMART(V6) CMS platform with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is weak due to lack of HTTPS, missing security headers, and absence of privacy and cookie policies, exposing the site to potential risks and non-compliance with GDPR. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rule violations, raising concerns about domain legitimacy despite professional website content. Strategic improvements in security, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency are recommended to enhance trust and digital maturity.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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 in the manufacturing sector with a focus on precision engineering tooling. Its market position is that of an established, trusted supplier with a niche in high-precision components for demanding industries such as Formula 1 and aerospace. The business model is B2B, targeting engineering firms requiring high accuracy and reliability. Revenue streams likely come from prototype and batch manufacturing services. The website indicates a small-sized business with a consistent brand presence but limited digital marketing or social media engagement. Partnerships include the Lansbury Business Estate and web design provider B Websites. Growth indicators are not explicit, but the long history and loyal customer base suggest stability. The lack of modern digital features and domain registration issues may hinder expansion or trust with new clients.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low. Absence of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to data interception risks. No security headers are implemented, increasing susceptibility to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other attacks. No privacy or cookie policies indicate non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible privacy controls. No forms are present to assess input validation or secure data handling. The WHOIS failure and domain naming rule violation further reduce trustworthiness. Overall, the site requires urgent security upgrades to protect business and customer data and to comply with legal requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Resolve domain registration issues to ensure WHOIS data availability and domain legitimacy.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the SMART(V6) CMS platform and uses JavaScript with jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking. The site loads resources over HTTP, lacking HTTPS encryption. Performance is moderate with basic SEO meta tags but limited mobile optimization and accessibility features. No modern frameworks or platforms detected. The site structure is clear with a consistent navigation menu and relevant content. However, the absence of security headers and privacy controls indicates technical debt and potential compliance risks. Modernization opportunities include migrating to HTTPS, enhancing mobile design, and implementing privacy and security best practices to reduce operational risks.
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.
