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

Ghekko Group is a medium-sized, established telecommunications hardware supplier and service provider with a global reach through facilities in the UK, Ireland, and the USA. The company specializes in supplying, buying back, repairing, and providing technical services for telecom equipment including phones, headsets, networking, and optical transmission hardware. Their market position is strong within the telecommunications sector, targeting business customers requiring cost-effective and efficient communications hardware solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and uses Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and security respectively. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in security headers and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA on forms, indicating good baseline security practices. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response information, and missing WHOIS domain registration data reduce overall trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website and business present a professional and trustworthy front with solid technical implementation but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and enhanced security documentation to strengthen compliance and trust.

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

7 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 29 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  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"

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

Ghekko operates a B2B business model focused on telecommunications hardware supply and aftermarket services. Their competitive advantage lies in their global presence and comprehensive service offerings including buyback and repair, which appeal to cost-conscious enterprises. The company targets telecom operators, network administrators, and businesses requiring telecom infrastructure. Revenue streams likely include hardware sales, repair services, and technical consulting. The presence of multiple physical locations and a multilingual website indicates a mature operation with international reach. Partnerships with major manufacturers and a strong online presence support growth and market penetration. Strategic observations include the need to improve domain registration transparency and expand security and compliance disclosures to enhance customer confidence.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the website content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response procedures indicate gaps in security governance and transparency. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data protection officer contact or vulnerability disclosure programs are missing. The WHOIS data absence raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for business operations but could be improved by formalizing security policies and enhancing domain registration visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and customer trust.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and reduce suspicion regarding domain legitimacy.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards, improving usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software and potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.6.17 with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. SEO is enhanced using Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA for form protection. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and comprehensive product and service information. Technical risks include potential outdated WordPress version and missing security headers.
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.
