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

Everitt & Marshall Ltd is a small, established agricultural machinery dealer based in Hexham, Northumberland, UK, operating since 1978. The company specializes in sales and servicing of new and used agricultural machinery, particularly Case IH brand equipment, and supports local farmers with parts and maintenance services. The website reflects a professional retail and service business model targeting the agricultural sector in the UK. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses modern plugins such as Slider Revolution and Yoast SEO, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and includes e-commerce functionality with secure HTTPS connections and Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options. Privacy and terms policies are present and GDPR compliant, though no explicit cookie consent mechanism is detected. WHOIS data for the www subdomain is unavailable due to domain registration rules, but the main domain is presumably registered correctly. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve security headers and cookie consent for enhanced compliance and protection.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 holds a strong local market position as a specialist dealer for Case IH and other agricultural machinery brands, serving farmers and agricultural businesses in Northumberland and surrounding areas. Their business model combines new and used machinery sales with parts supply and servicing, providing a comprehensive offering to their target audience. The website's e-commerce capabilities suggest direct sales and customer engagement online. The presence of multiple brand partnerships and a wide product catalog indicates a diversified product portfolio. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand image and professional online presence, supporting customer trust and retention. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business. The lack of direct company emails on the site suggests contact is primarily via phone or contact forms.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden the site against common web attacks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies is found, which could limit the company's ability to respond effectively to security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data in HTML and uses up-to-date WordPress and plugin versions, reducing vulnerability risks. Privacy policies are present and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are not explicit, which may pose compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional headers and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  3. Introduce an explicit cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security readiness and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, enhanced by popular plugins such as Slider Revolution for sliders and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site loads external resources from trusted domains including Google and AWS S3 for media assets. Performance is moderate with prefetching and asynchronous script loading to improve speed. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and accessible navigation. Accessibility features are basic but present, including screen-reader text and skip links. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but media assets are served from AWS S3 buckets. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional with room for improvement in security headers and accessibility enhancements.
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.
