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

JRW Developments is a UK-based small business specializing in machine tool, industrial electronics, and control systems repair, service, retrofits, design, and programming. Their market position is that of a niche technical service provider with decades of experience, targeting industrial clients and manufacturing companies. Key services include CNC system repairs, PLC programming, machine tool relocation, and custom electronics design. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content relevance, supporting their business model effectively. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 4, jQuery, and Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized and includes structured data for SEO and business information. Performance is moderate with basic accessibility features. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with a consent banner, though explicit GDPR compliance details are limited. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is present, but no advanced security headers or explicit security policies are found. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS lookup failed due to querying the 'www' subdomain which is not registered, but the domain 'jrw.co.uk' appears legitimate based on website content and contact information. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with room for improvement in security best practices and compliance documentation.

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. 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL 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 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"

    • 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. 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

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

JRW Developments operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on industrial electronics and machine tool services. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience and broad service offering including repairs, retrofits, programming, and electronic system manufacturing. The business model is service-oriented, targeting industrial clients requiring specialized technical support. Revenue streams likely come from service contracts, repairs, and custom electronics design. The company maintains an active online presence with social media links and structured data enhancing discoverability. Growth indicators are not explicit but the detailed service descriptions and contact options suggest an established operation. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating awareness of privacy requirements. However, the absence of HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, etc.) and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is basic, with a privacy policy present but lacking detailed compliance statements. Incident response readiness is not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance by providing more detailed privacy policy information and explicit user rights statements.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap 4 framework with jQuery and Popper.js for frontend interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for user tracking and analytics. CookieConsent v3.0.3 is implemented for cookie management. The site is mobile responsive and uses structured data (JSON-LD) to provide organization and website metadata. Performance is moderate with no major technical debt visible. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
