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

Manx Technology Group (MTG) is a reputable IT and IoT solutions provider serving businesses primarily in the Isle of Man and Scotland. The company offers a broad range of services including managed IT support, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and innovative IoT solutions. Their market position is strong within their regional focus, supported by a professional website that clearly communicates their offerings and expertise. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with modern technologies such as WordPress, Gravity Forms, Google reCAPTCHA, and Osano consent management, ensuring both usability and compliance with privacy regulations. From a security perspective, MTG employs HTTPS across their site, integrates CAPTCHA to protect forms, and provides a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a good security posture. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and transparency. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests an opportunity to strengthen their security communication. Overall, the website is well-optimized for SEO, accessibility, and mobile responsiveness, providing an excellent user experience. The business information is consistent with WHOIS data, reinforcing the legitimacy of the company. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, implementing a vulnerability disclosure program, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to mitigate potential risks.

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

7 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

      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"

    • 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

MTG operates as an essential technology service provider focusing on managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and IoT solutions. Their business model revolves around delivering tailored technology services to a diverse client base, emphasizing innovation and operational efficiency. The company leverages partnerships and regional expertise to maintain a competitive advantage. Their digital marketing includes active social media channels and a content-rich website featuring latest insights and blog posts, indicating a growth-oriented approach. The presence of VAT and registration numbers, along with physical addresses, adds to their business credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on contact forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Osano. Security headers are likely implemented though not explicitly visible in the HTML. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the source code. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for their business scale but with room for enhancement in transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit Data Protection Officer contact information to comply with GDPR best practices.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing detailed data retention and privacy compliance statements.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, indicating a modern and flexible content management system. It utilizes Gravity Forms for data collection with integrated Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO Premium plugin, and privacy compliance is managed via Osano CMP. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and Osano. Performance appears moderate with optimized images and responsive design. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting good usability. No explicit hosting provider was identified from the content. The technical stack is well-chosen for a professional IT services company, balancing functionality, security, and user experience.
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.
