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

MicroPro is a small Irish technology company specializing in the sales, servicing, and repair of laptops, PCs, tablets, printers, and accessories. With over 20 years of experience, MicroPro serves a diverse clientele including educational institutions, public sector organizations, small businesses, and enterprises primarily in the Dublin area. Their offerings include certified repair services, network installation, server setup, and eco-friendly computing solutions. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear navigation and a modern WordPress-based website utilizing WooCommerce and Elementor for e-commerce and content management. Social media engagement across major platforms supports their market visibility. Technically, the website is well-structured and mobile-optimized, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, MicroPro presents a trustworthy and professional business with room for improvement in privacy and security transparency.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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"

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

MicroPro holds a strong local market position as a trusted provider of computer hardware and repair services in Ireland, particularly Dublin. Their business model combines retail sales with service contracts and repair offerings, targeting a broad audience from small businesses to large enterprises and public sector clients. The company leverages partnerships, such as with iWorks.ie for website development, and maintains active social media channels to enhance customer engagement. Their product range includes eco-friendly computing solutions, reflecting a commitment to innovation and sustainability. The absence of detailed financial or registration data limits deeper business intelligence, but the long operational history and positive testimonials indicate stability and customer satisfaction.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. Forms use secure POST methods, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which limits transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, posing compliance risks under GDPR. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. Enhancing security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response documentation would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for improved user experience and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to latest secure versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and Elementor for page building, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It uses common web technologies including jQuery, Google Fonts, and AddThis for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and optimized CSS, but could benefit from further optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, ensuring usability across devices. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are technical debts that should be addressed. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with valid SSL certificates. Overall, the technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized e-commerce sites, with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
