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

FGD Limited is a UK-based company specializing in the supply of construction aggregates and waste removal services, primarily serving the West Midlands and surrounding regions. The company targets construction and civil engineering firms, local authorities, and regulators, offering a comprehensive range of materials and haulage solutions. Their market position is supported by multiple industry certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and accreditations like FORS and Constructionline, indicating a strong commitment to quality and compliance. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and a proprietary CMS (AthCMS). The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. However, security headers are missing, and privacy policy documentation is absent, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a query error related to the domain name format, which slightly reduces trustworthiness from a domain registration standpoint. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and WHOIS data clarity would enhance the security posture and user trust further.

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.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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. 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 · found on this site
  • 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

FGD Limited operates in the transportation and construction materials sector, focusing on aggregates supply and waste removal. Their business model revolves around providing tailored construction material solutions and waste management services with a large fleet for delivery and haulage. The company serves both local and national clients, including construction companies and local authorities, indicating a diversified customer base. Their certifications and accreditations provide competitive advantages and facilitate trust in regulated industries. The website's social media presence and professional design support brand visibility and customer engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent medium-sized enterprise with a regional focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain query error, which impacts domain trust verification. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add a security policy or incident response contact information on the website to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  4. Investigate and correct WHOIS data retrieval issues by querying the root domain fgdltd.co.uk instead of www subdomain to improve domain legitimacy verification.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct an accessibility audit to ensure compliance with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of Bootstrap 4.1.3 for responsive design, jQuery and jQuery UI for interactive elements, and a custom CMS named AthCMS. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs such as StackPath, Google Fonts, and Ajax Google APIs. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism via cookie-script.com and uses Lead Forensics for visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with no critical errors or broken elements detected. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph tags are properly implemented. However, the site lacks modern security headers and could improve accessibility compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
