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

First Grade International Limited is a UK-based medium-sized company specializing in the global supply of coconut-based ingredients, dried fruits, nuts, cocoa, chocolate, and plant-based alternatives to the food and beverage manufacturing industry. The company holds several industry certifications and serves a broad market across the UK and Europe. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern and maintainable technical infrastructure. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes tracking via Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though the absence of security headers and explicit privacy policies suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration query errors, which impacts domain trust verification. Overall, the website presents a professional and credible business presence with moderate technical and security maturity.

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. 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

  3. 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

The company operates as a B2B supplier in the manufacturing sector, focusing on raw food ingredients with a strong emphasis on coconut products. Their market position is supported by multiple certifications and memberships in reputable trade organizations, which enhance trust and credibility. The business model revolves around sourcing high-quality ingredients globally and distributing them to food manufacturers in over 30 countries. The website content and structure target industry professionals and manufacturers, highlighting product ranges and technical quality. The presence of a downloadable brochure and news updates indicates active marketing and customer engagement. The lack of detailed company founding information and parent/subsidiary relationships limits deeper corporate intelligence. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked, suggesting a focused business ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy reduces transparency for security researchers. No forms were detected in the provided content, minimizing attack surface from input vectors. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used, which require careful configuration to ensure privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good foundational practices but lacking in advanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information and security policies to demonstrate preparedness and compliance.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data availability and improve domain legitimacy trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for functionality and tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and shows good SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with lazy loading for images and optimized CSS delivery. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy documentation, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional business website with opportunities for security and compliance 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.
