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

Durotan Ltd is a UK-based company specializing in the supply and installation of steel and PEX pre-insulated pipe systems, with a strong market position as the longest-established supplier in the UK. Their services include design, installation, testing, and commissioning, supported by a large stock of district heating pipes. The website reflects a professional business with clear branding and a focus on energy sector clients. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as WPBakery and Slider Revolution, and uses AngularJS for interactive components. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security policies and headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-structured but could improve in privacy and security 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. 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

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention durotan.ltd.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for durotan.ltd.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 targets UK businesses and contractors requiring pre-insulated pipe systems, leveraging its long history since 1978 and domain registration since 2000 to establish credibility. Their business model combines product supply with installation services, offering tailored solutions for district heating and other applications. The presence on social media platforms and use of SEO best practices indicate a focus on digital marketing. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company operates in the energy sector with a small business size profile.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable WordPress plugins, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of security headers, vulnerability disclosure, and incident response information suggests gaps in security transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site would benefit from implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and providing contact channels for security incidents to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy with dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update plugins and frameworks to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 7.0 platform using WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution for content presentation, with AngularJS for dynamic UI components. It loads external resources from Google Fonts and FontAwesome CDN. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features. Hosting appears stable with domain registration through ICUK Computing Services Ltd. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but AngularJS is an older framework that may require future modernization.
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.
