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

6 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. 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

  4. 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

HYQUIP Limited occupies a solid position in the manufacturing supply sector, focusing on fluid power components. Their business model is primarily B2B, leveraging an e-commerce platform to distribute products worldwide. The company benefits from a long-established domain and consistent branding, which supports customer trust. While the website lacks explicit privacy and terms of service documentation, the presence of cookie consent and professional site structure indicates awareness of compliance requirements. The company’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but the extensive product catalog suggests strong supplier relationships. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product range and ongoing digital marketing efforts via analytics and tracking.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The use of third-party tracking scripts, including one from groupinspired24.com, should be reviewed for privacy and security implications. Overall, the security posture is moderate with recommendations to enhance header policies and transparency around security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Publish terms of service and security policies including incident response procedures.
  3. Add Content-Security-Policy and other relevant security headers to improve protection.
  4. Establish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.
  5. Review third-party tracking scripts for privacy compliance and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and DataTables for enhanced UI functionality. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for marketing and analytics purposes, with reCAPTCHA protecting user input forms. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks include missing advanced security headers and potential over-reliance on third-party tracking scripts. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve compliance documentation.
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.
