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

Henderson Grass Machinery operates as a small regional business specializing in agricultural and horticultural engineering and machinery sales in Scotland. The website is built on the Wix platform, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity with basic technical infrastructure. The site content is focused on providing information about their services and locations but lacks comprehensive business contact details and privacy policies. Security posture is minimal with no detected security headers or advanced configurations, and the domain WHOIS data is missing or invalid, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the business appears functional but would benefit from improved security, privacy compliance, and clearer business information to enhance trust and professionalism.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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 targets agricultural and horticultural sectors in Scotland, serving farmers and related businesses. Their business model centers on sales and engineering services for grass machinery. Market positioning is regional with no evident partnerships or subsidiaries. The website content is basic but consistent with the business focus. Lack of detailed contact information and policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence of advanced marketing or analytics tools, suggesting a straightforward operational approach.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS (implied by Wix hosting) but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration irregularities further reduce trustworthiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, security maturity is low, and improvements are needed to meet basic best practices and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure legitimacy and avoid domain-related trust issues.
  4. Include clear business contact information including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to improve credibility.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using standard Wix scripts and polyfills for browser compatibility. The technical implementation is basic with no advanced frameworks detected. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization considered good. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced SEO features. Accessibility features are minimal but some focus styles are included. The site lacks analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal data collection. Hosting is managed by Wix, providing stable infrastructure but limited customization. Overall, the technical stack is suitable for a small business informational site but could be enhanced for better performance, security, and 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.
