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. 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

      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

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 occupies a niche manufacturing sector within the Surrey region, leveraging decades of experience and local partnerships with precision engineering and finishing firms. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive in-house capabilities, personalized service, and reputation for quality and reliability. The business targets a diverse customer base from private individuals to construction companies, with growth driven by referrals and repeat business. The website's integration of review widgets and clear contact information supports customer engagement, though the absence of formal privacy and cookie policies suggests room for compliance improvement. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain or website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and modern front-end technologies but lacks visible security headers and formal security or incident response policies. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate attack surface, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The WHOIS lookup failure due to domain naming issues limits verification of domain legitimacy, which slightly impacts trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate with good basic practices but opportunities exist to enhance headers, policies, and transparency to improve user trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to strengthen site security.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process to enhance security readiness.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data accuracy and improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and widgets to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 5, jQuery 3.6.2, AOS for animations, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Elfsight widgets for reviews. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and SEO. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The site lacks forms, reducing complexity but also limiting direct user data collection. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and formal compliance documentation.
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.
