Risk levelMedium

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

The website efed.co.uk operates as a supplier and retailer of equine nutrition products including horse feeds, supplements, and balancers. It targets horse owners and the equine nutrition market primarily in the United Kingdom. The site presents a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5 and integrates Google Analytics for tracking. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or hosting provider from the data provided. Security posture is weak due to lack of visible security headers and no privacy or cookie policies, which also impacts GDPR compliance. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error indicating the domain www.efeed.co.uk is invalid per Nominet UK naming rules, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is accessible and safe for general audiences but lacks critical compliance and security features.

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

2 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: alt2.aspmc.l.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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 business operates in a niche retail sector focused on equine nutrition, offering a range of products such as horse feeds, supplements, probiotics, and forage balancers. The business model is direct supply and retail, targeting horse owners and equine professionals. Market positioning appears focused on quality and specialized products within the UK. There is no evidence of parent companies or subsidiaries. The site lacks visible trust indicators such as certifications or customer testimonials. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager suggests some level of digital marketing and user behavior tracking. Absence of privacy and cookie policies may affect customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The site uses HTTPS but no security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or security contact information is available. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. The lack of WHOIS data and domain registration issues further reduce trustworthiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified, but the absence of security best practices is notable. The site should implement security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and provide clear security contact channels to improve posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Resolve domain registration issues or clarify domain legitimacy to improve trust and credibility.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information including a security.txt file.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including security and data protection officer contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site appears to be well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO elements. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. Accessibility is basic with no advanced ARIA or accessibility features detected. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The site lacks advanced security configurations and compliance features, representing technical debt and modernization opportunities.
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.
