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

Fumetec Ltd is a UK-based specialist company focused on the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of fume cupboards and fume extraction systems for various industries. Their website presents a professional image with clear descriptions of their key services and product offerings, targeting industrial and commercial clients requiring laboratory safety and fume control solutions. The company positions itself as a trusted manufacturer and installer within the UK market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with modern performance optimizations such as WP Rocket and Google Analytics integration. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which limits full verification of domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and secure with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 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

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

Fumetec operates in the manufacturing sector, specializing in fume extraction and laboratory safety equipment. Their business model includes product design, manufacturing, installation, and ongoing maintenance services. The company targets industrial clients, laboratories, schools, and other institutions requiring fume cupboards and extraction systems. The website indicates a focused product portfolio with multiple specialized fume cupboard types and related services. The presence of Google Ads and Analytics suggests active marketing efforts. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company appears to be small-sized with a UK geographic focus. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is a limitation for trust but the professional website and contact information support credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate bots, and a cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust in domain legitimacy but does not directly impact website security. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Implement and publish incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to harden security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It employs Google Analytics and Google Ads for tracking and marketing. Performance optimizations include WP Rocket for caching and lazy loading. The site is mobile responsive and uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA. The technical implementation is solid with good SEO and user experience. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site could improve accessibility features and security headers for enhanced robustness.
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.
