Technically, the website employs a modern yet stable technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and SlickNav for responsive design and navigation. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a data-driven approach to user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity and content relevance, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and asynchronous loading of tracking scripts, but lacks visible security headers like CSP or HSTS in the provided data.

Privacy compliance is basic but present, with privacy and cookie policies accessible and GDPR compliance implied. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with a strong business credibility score. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, improving accessibility, and publishing a dedicated security policy to strengthen trust and compliance.

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: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP 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. 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';…

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

Icom (UK) Ltd operates in the telecommunications sector, focusing on radio communication equipment for professional and enthusiast markets. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing reputation, comprehensive product range, and support services including training and repair. The business model combines product sales with value-added services, targeting sectors such as maritime, aviation, amateur radio, and commercial users. The company maintains an active online presence with case studies, news, and social media engagement, indicating a growth-oriented and customer-focused approach. Partnerships with technology providers and a UK-based hosting/registrar support their operational stability. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data aligns with their transparent business model.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The use of HTTPS and asynchronous script loading are positive indicators. However, the absence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) reduces the overall security score. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security maturity. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are present, supporting GDPR compliance. To improve, the company should implement security headers, publish incident response contacts, and conduct regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  4. Review and improve client-side input validation to prevent potential UX issues and security risks.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

  2. No signs of blocking or WAF challenges.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and widely supported technology stack with Bootstrap 3.3.7 and jQuery 3.1.1, ensuring responsive design and compatibility. The integration of SlickNav enhances mobile navigation. Analytics and marketing tools are well integrated via Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager, supporting data-driven decision making. Hosting and domain registration are managed by a reputable UK provider. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The site lacks a known CMS, suggesting a custom or bespoke platform. Technical debt is minimal but updating to newer versions of libraries and frameworks could improve security and performance. Accessibility and SEO are basic to good but could be further enhanced.
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.
