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

Matrix Precision Engineering Ltd is a UK-based precision manufacturing company specializing in a wide range of machining and engineering services including CNC milling, 5-axis machining, mill/turn machining, EDM machining, and project management. The company has been established since 2004 and targets industrial clients requiring high precision engineering solutions. The website is built on WordPress using a standard theme and provides navigation to detailed service pages, although the homepage content is minimal. From a technical perspective, the website uses HTTPS and is hosted likely via GoDaddy based on nameservers. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. However, it lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved to enhance security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating gaps in compliance with data protection regulations. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing several best practices such as security headers and incident response information. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. The domain registration is consistent with the business profile, showing a long-standing presence since 2004, registered with a reputable registrar. Overall, the website is functional but could benefit from improved privacy compliance and security hardening. Recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and providing clear contact information to improve trust and compliance. Enhancing technical SEO and content richness would also improve user experience and business credibility.

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. 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';…

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

Matrix Precision Engineering Ltd operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on precision engineering services. Their market positioning is that of an established small business with a broad service offering in machining and engineering. The business model is B2B, serving industrial clients requiring precision parts and project management. The company has a stable domain age consistent with its founding year 2004, indicating operational longevity. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The website lacks visible partnerships or certifications, which could be leveraged to strengthen market credibility. Growth indicators such as recent news posts suggest ongoing investment in capabilities. The absence of social media and limited contact information may restrict outreach and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no immediate vulnerabilities detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in security best practices. There is no evidence of GDPR compliance mechanisms such as privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance risk. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance website content and contact information to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Twenty Twenty theme, indicating a standard and widely supported platform. The tech stack includes PHP and JavaScript with no detected advanced frameworks or custom technologies. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The site could benefit from modernization efforts including improved SEO, enhanced accessibility, and security hardening to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
