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

E-Tech Components UK Ltd is a specialist distributor of high-quality power cable accessories and electrical components, serving diverse and demanding markets such as energy, telecommunications, and transportation. Established in 2004, the company offers a broad product range from leading brands, complemented by full technical support, certified training, and in-house tool repair and calibration services. Their market position is strong within the UK and internationally, supported by a professional and well-structured website with excellent SEO and social media integration. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools including Yoast SEO Premium, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good accessibility and navigation clarity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented, though improvements are recommended such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers like Content-Security-Policy. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be enhanced to improve trust and security readiness. The domain registration data is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business credibility. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and business credibility with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enabling DNSSEC, implementing additional security headers, and establishing clear incident response contacts.

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

4 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';…

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

E-Tech Components UK Ltd operates as a specialist distributor in the energy and telecommunications sectors, targeting businesses requiring power cable accessories and electrical components. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a wide product range from reputable brands, combined with technical support and training services. The business model focuses on distribution and value-added services such as tool repair and calibration. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with multiple industry brands and has a well-established digital presence. Growth indicators include a long domain age and active social media engagement. The company’s operations are UK-based with international reach, positioning it as a trusted supplier in its niche markets.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms, reducing automated abuse risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and Content-Security-Policy headers indicates potential vulnerabilities to DNS spoofing and cross-site scripting attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and terms of service documentation, impacting GDPR adherence. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, header policies, and documented security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  3. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related vulnerabilities.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure all third-party scripts are from trusted sources to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.9.1, leveraging Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for traffic analysis. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading to optimize performance. The site is mobile-responsive with good accessibility features and clear navigation menus. Hosting and DNS are managed via IONOS SE and livedns.co.uk respectively. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The technical stack is mature and well-maintained, though enabling DNSSEC and improving security headers would reduce technical risks. The site’s structured data (JSON-LD) is well-implemented, enhancing SEO and content discoverability.
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.
