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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

MGC Lighting Ltd operates in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors, focusing on specialist lighting solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive product range from respected brands and global distribution capabilities. The business model is primarily B2B, serving industrial and medical clients. The website indicates a stable market position with a medium-sized operation. The company leverages digital tools for marketing and customer engagement, including live chat and analytics. There is no evidence of direct e-commerce sales on the homepage, suggesting a possible focus on inquiry-based sales or wholesale distribution. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous well-known lighting and medical brands. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies to strengthen customer trust and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact information suggests limited formal security governance publicly available. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks comprehensive privacy documentation. The site would benefit from implementing a security.txt file and publishing clear security and incident response policies to enhance readiness and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with opportunities for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet broader compliance and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Astra theme and WooCommerce plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported infrastructure. It incorporates modern web technologies such as jQuery, Font Awesome, Google Fonts, and integrates third-party services like Google Analytics and Tawk.to live chat for user engagement and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses caching and minified CSS for performance. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements. The site’s SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format, aiding search engine visibility. Overall, the technical stack is modern and well-maintained with moderate performance.
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.
