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

F. A. Morris Ltd is a small Sheffield-based manufacturing company specializing in precision engineering, abrasive products, and pattern holders with over 45 years of experience. The company holds BS EN ISO 9002 certification, indicating a commitment to quality standards. The website content is minimal and primarily informational, focusing on the company's products and contact address. The technical infrastructure appears outdated, using framesets and lacking modern web technologies or CMS platforms. There is no evidence of HTTPS or security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating a low level of digital maturity and security posture. The WHOIS data for the domain www.famorris.co.uk is unavailable due to domain registration errors, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website provides basic business information but lacks modern security and privacy compliance 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  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

    • 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

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 operates in the manufacturing sector, targeting industrial clients needing precision engineering and abrasive products. Its long-standing market presence and ISO certification suggest a stable niche position. However, the lack of digital presence sophistication and absence of contact emails or phone numbers on the website limit customer engagement and trust signals. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries. The business model is B2B manufacturing and supply, with a focus on quality and specialized products. Growth opportunities may be limited by the outdated web presence and lack of online marketing or analytics tools.

Security posture

The security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The website does not implement modern security best practices, exposing it to potential risks such as data interception or lack of compliance with GDPR. The WHOIS domain registration failure further undermines trust and may indicate domain misconfiguration or misuse. There is no evidence of secure forms or data protection officers. Overall, the security maturity is low, and improvements are necessary to protect business and customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Update website technology to modern standards, replacing framesets with responsive design.
  4. Publish clear contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers.
  5. Investigate and resolve domain registration issues to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses an outdated frameset HTML structure with minimal meta tags and no modern JavaScript libraries or CMS detected. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking tools. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance and hosting details are unknown due to limited data. The absence of HTTPS and security headers indicates technical debt and potential vulnerabilities. Modernization opportunities include adopting responsive design, implementing security best practices, and enhancing SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
