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

East Sperrin is a small manufacturing business specializing in precision metal fabrication and agricultural attachments based in Cookstown, Northern Ireland. Their services include bespoke steel fabrication, CNC plasma cutting, CNC press work, and a proprietary range of Sperrin Attachments designed for farming and construction sectors. The company targets local homeowners, agricultural businesses, construction firms, and local councils, positioning itself as a trusted local specialist with a focus on quality and durability. Technically, the website is built on the Webador platform, leveraging modern web technologies and includes basic mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or terms of service documentation. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and contact information appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and technical implementation but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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. 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"

  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

    • 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

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

East Sperrin operates in the manufacturing sector with a niche focus on metal fabrication and agricultural attachments. Their business model combines service delivery with product sales, targeting a regional market in Mid Ulster. The company leverages traditional craftsmanship combined with modern CNC technologies to differentiate itself. The presence of customer testimonials and detailed contact information supports a credible local reputation. The website indicates a small-sized enterprise with no visible parent or subsidiary relationships. The use of Webador as a platform suggests a cost-effective digital presence. There is no evidence of extensive partnerships or affiliate programs. Growth indicators are limited but the professional presentation and product range suggest a stable local business. Strategic opportunities include expanding digital marketing and formalizing compliance documentation to enhance trust and market reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and includes a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No forms or input fields are present on the main page, minimizing attack surface. There is no visible incident response or security contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file found. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and enhancing domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Webador CMS platform, which provides a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It uses Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused visitor tracking. The site is hosted on Webador infrastructure, which appears stable and performant with moderate loading speeds. Mobile optimization is basic but functional, and SEO practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented. There are no detected forms or complex interactive elements, reducing technical complexity and security risks. The absence of advanced security headers and privacy documentation indicates some technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small business website but could benefit from enhancements in security and privacy features.
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.
