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

Mototechniks is a small UK-based business specializing in new and used motorcycle sales, servicing, MOT testing, and related accessories. The company targets motorcycle enthusiasts and buyers primarily in the Stowmarket area. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and providing a professional and user-friendly experience. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and product categorization, supporting a positive user experience. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises questions about domain registration status, though the professional Shopify hosting and content suggest legitimate business operations. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and Shopify's secure payment infrastructure, but explicit privacy and cookie policies are missing, which impacts compliance and trust. Overall, the site is functional and secure but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

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

Mototechniks operates in the transportation and retail sectors, focusing on motorcycle sales and services. Their business model combines direct retail of motorcycles and accessories with service offerings such as MOT testing and repairs. The company appears to have a local market focus with a clear product and service range. The use of Shopify indicates a reliance on established e-commerce infrastructure, facilitating scalability and ease of management. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided. Marketing and analytics tools are standard Shopify offerings, with moderate user tracking. The company could improve market positioning by enhancing transparency and customer engagement features.

Security posture

The website benefits from Shopify's robust security infrastructure, including enforced HTTPS, secure payment processing, and likely server-level security headers. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies reduces compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder timely security issue management. The site uses CAPTCHA on forms, indicating some protection against automated abuse. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with better policy documentation and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, using modern web technologies including ES modules, CSS3, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. It leverages Shopify's CDN for hosting and performance optimization, resulting in fast load times and good mobile responsiveness. The site uses third-party apps such as Globo Smart Product Filters to enhance product search and filtering capabilities. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Technical debt appears low due to reliance on Shopify's managed platform, but improvements could be made in accessibility and privacy compliance features.
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.
