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

Morrish Engineering Ltd operates as a specialized manufacturer of green leaf harvesters and related agricultural machinery based in the United Kingdom. The company offers a broad product range including bespoke engineering projects, targeting agricultural businesses requiring specialized harvesting equipment. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact details and product galleries. Technically, the site is built on the itseeze CMS platform, employs modern JavaScript libraries such as PhotoSwipe for image galleries, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics with privacy-conscious default settings denying ad and analytics storage. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement, notably in implementing security headers and publishing explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration errors introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, although the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate business. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and suitable for its target audience, but verification of domain registration and enhanced security measures are recommended.

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

4 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
    • 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

  2. 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

  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

The company holds a niche position in the agricultural manufacturing sector, focusing on green leaf harvesters and bespoke machinery solutions. Their business model centers on manufacturing and custom engineering services, catering primarily to agricultural enterprises. The website's content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a clear UK geographic focus. Contact information and social media presence (Twitter) support customer engagement and brand visibility. The lack of publicly displayed certifications or compliance badges suggests potential areas for trust enhancement. The company appears to maintain a direct customer relationship model without evident third-party partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital presence and formalizing compliance and security frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is presumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data; security headers are absent or not detected, which is a notable gap. The site uses a cookie consent banner and denies all ad and analytics storage by default, reflecting privacy awareness. No forms or user input fields are present on the analyzed page, reducing attack surface. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. The missing WHOIS data and domain registration error raise concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a brochure-style site but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and correct domain registration details with Nominet UK to resolve WHOIS data issues and ensure domain legitimacy.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish clear security policies, including incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the itseeze CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries including PhotoSwipe for image galleries and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and external scripts from Google Tag Manager and fonts.gstatic.com. Performance is moderate with responsive design elements supporting mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and semantic HTML but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but minimal descriptive content. No advanced frameworks or platforms detected. Hosting provider is not identified from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate for a small business website but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
