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

3 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. 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.

  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 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

Microtek Components operates in the telecommunications and technology sectors, focusing on RF and Microwave components distribution and manufacturing. The company benefits from its acquisition by the Milexia Group, enhancing market reach and resources. Its business model centers on franchised sales and marketing with technical support and manufacturing capabilities. The company targets professional and industrial customers in the UK and Ireland, emphasizing quality and certification as competitive advantages. The website supports this positioning with detailed product and supplier information, accreditations, and a professional digital presence. Partnerships with global manufacturers and accreditations like ISO 9001 and Cyber Essentials reinforce credibility. The company shows growth potential through its integration with Milexia and a broad product portfolio.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of recognized certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 and Cyber Essentials. The presence of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha and Cookiebot consent management indicates attention to bot mitigation and privacy compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. Some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were identified in the content. Incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Implement or verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts or security team communication channels.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with version 6.9.4, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1 and various third-party scripts including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Cookiebot for consent management, and Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for bot protection. DNS is hosted on Azure DNS servers, and the domain registrar is Infomaniak Network SA. The site shows good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, including use of Yoast SEO Premium. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social sharing. Some technical improvements could be made in security headers and DNSSEC enablement to reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure online presence.
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.
