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

Industrial Paint & Powder Ltd is a well-established supplier of industrial coatings, including wet paint systems, powder coatings, colour matching, and technical support services primarily serving businesses across Scotland. With over 60 years of industry experience and ISO 9001 certification, the company positions itself as a trusted partner in the manufacturing and finishing sectors. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting industrial and commercial clients seeking reliable coating solutions. The technical infrastructure is modern and leverages Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, and jQuery, hosted on a reputable platform with HTTPS enabled. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, although performance is moderate. There are no detected tracking or advertising scripts, indicating a focus on straightforward business communication rather than marketing automation. From a security perspective, the website benefits from HTTPS and absence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy with strong business credibility and technical implementation but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices to reduce risk and improve user 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

8 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

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 operates in the manufacturing sector, supplying industrial coatings and finishing solutions to a B2B market in Scotland. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing industry experience, ISO 9001 certification, and comprehensive service offerings including technical support and colour matching. The business model focuses on reliable supply and expert guidance, targeting manufacturing, fabrication, refurbishment, and specialist finishing customers. The website highlights partnerships with established coating manufacturers, reinforcing its market position. Growth indicators include a broad product range and over 1,000 trade customers. The partnership with Visionbyte UK for website development suggests a professional approach to digital presence.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no privacy or cookie policies found, increasing regulatory risk. No third-party tracking or advertising scripts reduce attack surface but also limit user data control. Overall, the site is secure for general browsing but would benefit from enhanced security policies and headers to strengthen defenses and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. It is hosted on a reliable platform with HTTPS enforced, ensuring secure data transmission. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, likely due to image sizes and external resource loading. No forms are present, reducing complexity and attack surface. The absence of security headers and privacy-related pages indicates technical debt in compliance and security best practices. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional online presence but has room for modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
