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

Micro Pneumatics is a UK-based manufacturing company specializing in designing and producing machines for the textile industry, with over 40 years of experience. The company maintains a professional online presence with a well-structured WordPress website that highlights its product range and company history. The site targets manufacturing and textile industry professionals, positioning itself as a niche player with a focus on quality and innovation. Technically, the website leverages modern CMS and plugins such as WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, and Google Analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, there is room for improvement in performance optimization and accessibility. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security practices.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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. 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

  4. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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, focusing on textile machinery. Its business model is B2B, selling specialized industrial equipment and providing product support. The domain age and WHOIS data support the company's legitimacy and long-standing market presence. The website content and social media links reinforce its market positioning. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests a potential compliance gap. The company appears to have a focused product portfolio with a clear target audience. Partnerships with web design firms like Caged Fish indicate a professional approach to digital presence. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was found.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, which is a fundamental security measure. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism like security.txt. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses standard WordPress plugins without known vulnerabilities in the provided data. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for tracking, but privacy compliance is lacking due to missing policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a security.txt file to provide a clear vulnerability disclosure channel.
  4. Include incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a mature but standard CMS infrastructure. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for better search engine understanding. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are used, which are common but add external dependencies. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No critical technical issues were detected, but the absence of security headers and privacy policies are notable gaps.
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.
