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

Dirty Rigger™ is a UK-based company specializing in manufacturing and retailing rugged personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, tool bags, belts, and accessories tailored for professional riggers and tradespeople. Established in 2010 and operating under the parent company The Le Mark Group, the company positions itself as a niche leader in the rigging and trade gear market. Their website reflects a focused e-commerce business model targeting professionals requiring durable and reliable work gear. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable digital infrastructure. The site is hosted likely with SiteGround and uses Ionos SE as the domain registrar. The website demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and moderate performance. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with detailed user controls. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with basic privacy standards, but could enhance transparency and security posture further.

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

7 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • 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"

      • 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

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

Dirty Rigger™ operates in the retail sector focusing on specialized PPE and tools for riggers and tradespeople. Their competitive advantage lies in product specialization and quality branding. The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce with a clear product catalog segmented by glove types, tool bags, and accessories. The company targets professional riggers and construction workers, leveraging social media channels for brand engagement. The parent company relationship with The Le Mark Group suggests a stable business foundation. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product range and active marketing via Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and the parent company website. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced compliance documentation and security transparency to build further trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam and bot attacks. The cookie consent mechanism is robust, offering granular user control and compliance with GDPR principles. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure pages indicates gaps in security governance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are partially implemented or not explicitly visible, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated by publishing formal security documentation and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. CookieYes is used for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting appears to be with SiteGround, a reputable provider, while domain registration is managed by Ionos SE. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with some optimization possible. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML. The technical infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce experience but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and formalized security documentation.
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.
