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

MF Logistics is a UK-based logistics company specializing in groupage shipments from the UK to Northern and Southern Ireland. With over 40 years of market presence, they position themselves as market leaders in Irish distribution, offering a range of services including contract logistics, customs clearance, onsite logistics, warehousing solutions, and digital tools such as an online booking portal and real-time track & trace. Their target audience primarily consists of businesses requiring efficient and reliable transportation and distribution services between the UK and Ireland. The company emphasizes service excellence, flexibility, and competitive pricing tailored to client needs. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and integrates modern plugins like Yoast SEO and Slider Revolution. It employs Google Analytics for tracking and uses standard web fonts and icon libraries. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has secure forms with input validation, but lacks explicit security headers and DNSSEC. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is published. The domain registration is consistent and long-standing, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency. The overall risk assessment suggests a professional and credible business with moderate technical maturity and some compliance gaps. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve 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

9 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. 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

MF Logistics operates in the transportation sector with a focus on UK to Ireland logistics and distribution. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, specialization in groupage shipments, and comprehensive service offerings including customs clearance and warehousing. The business model is service-oriented, targeting B2B clients who require reliable and cost-effective logistics solutions. The company leverages digital tools such as an online booking portal and real-time tracking to enhance customer experience. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media engagement on Facebook and LinkedIn, supporting brand visibility. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with testimonials and a clear market positioning statement. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating a focused standalone operation.

Security posture

The security maturity level of MF Logistics' website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and forms include required fields with input validation, reducing risk of injection attacks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency and preparedness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the provided data. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but requires enhancements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, supported by plugins like Yoast SEO and Slider Revolution for SEO and visual content management. Google Analytics is integrated via Site Kit for traffic analysis. The site uses web fonts Poppins and Source Sans Pro, and Font Awesome icons. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and plugin usage. No hosting provider details were identified from the data. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration. Overall, the infrastructure is standard for a mid-sized business website but could benefit from security and performance optimizations.
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.
