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

Duncan-Parnell is a well-established, family-owned business specializing in providing high-quality survey equipment, geospatial technology, and custom printing solutions primarily to construction contractors, engineers, surveyors, architects, and designers. With over 75 years of experience and multiple physical locations across the Southeastern United States, the company positions itself as a trusted partner offering both products and services including equipment rentals and support. The website reflects a professional B2B business model with a focus on customer service and industry-specific solutions. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, though there is room for improvement in implementing comprehensive security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust verification, but the website content and business information strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact options, supporting a positive user experience.

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

5 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 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
      • 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 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

  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

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 and technology sectors with a retail component, targeting professional clients in construction and geospatial industries. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence, diverse product offerings including Trimble and HP branded equipment, and comprehensive customer support services. Revenue streams likely include product sales, rentals, printing services, and training. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processors and credit application services, enhancing operational efficiency. Growth indicators include active event promotion and a robust online catalog. Strategic observations suggest the company maintains a strong regional footprint with potential for digital expansion and enhanced security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and use of reputable third-party analytics and support tools. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and some missing security headers indicate gaps in compliance and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The business impact of these gaps is moderate, primarily affecting trust and compliance posture. There is no evidence of GDPR or NIS2 compliance documentation, though privacy and cookie policies are present and appear comprehensive. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalization and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or use verified domain registration to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Continue improving mobile accessibility and SEO to maintain competitive digital presence.

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 5.3 and jQuery 3.6.0, supported by multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features.

The site architecture supports a rich product catalog and customer interaction through forms and support widgets, indicating a mature e-commerce and service platform.
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.
