Risk levelHigh

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

MW Fire is a small business specializing in fire alarm installation, maintenance, and servicing. The website presents basic but relevant content targeted at organizations and businesses requiring fire safety solutions. The site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging Google Fonts and custom jQuery scripts. While the technical infrastructure is modern and mobile-optimized, the site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important security headers and policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rule violations, which raises some legitimacy concerns, though the website content appears professional and legitimate. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer business contact information.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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

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

MW Fire operates in the fire safety sector, providing specialized fire alarm services. The business model is service-oriented, targeting commercial and organizational clients. The website does not disclose detailed company information such as founding year or parent company, limiting insight into market position or scale. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and absence of contact details may impact customer trust and compliance with regulations. The site’s basic content and design suggest a small-sized enterprise with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not present, which may affect readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and customer trust.
  4. Establish an incident response policy and provide security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Conduct a WHOIS domain registration review to resolve naming rule issues and improve domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0.2 with the Divi theme version 5.9.0, indicating a modern CMS and theme framework. It uses Google Fonts and a custom jQuery implementation. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate based on the use of external font resources and standard WordPress infrastructure. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. The lack of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the provided data.
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.
