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

Nationwide Produce PLC is a well-established and large fresh produce company based in the UK, offering a comprehensive range of services including farming, grading, packing, trading, importing, exporting, and dedicated transport. The company operates multiple subsidiaries and divisions, positioning itself as a leading supplier in the fresh produce market. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, multilingual support, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO optimizations, though performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some legitimacy concerns, though the overall business credibility and online presence suggest a legitimate operation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and verifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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

5 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

      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';…

  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. 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

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 targets businesses and consumers in the fresh produce sector across the UK and Europe, leveraging a vertically integrated business model that includes farming under Richmond Farms and multiple subsidiaries. The business benefits from strong family leadership and long-term grower partnerships, emphasizing quality and brand integrity. The presence of multiple social media channels and comprehensive policies indicates a focus on transparency and customer engagement. The company’s market position as one of the largest and longest established in the UK fresh produce industry suggests competitive advantages in scale and experience. Growth indicators include diversified operations and active recruitment efforts. The partnership ecosystem includes subsidiaries and divisions that expand geographic and operational reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update WordPress core and plugins promptly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure registration transparency and enhance trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0.2 using the Divi theme and several popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7, and WPML for multilingual support. Google Analytics and Google AdSense are integrated for analytics and advertising. The site uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts and social sharing tools like AddToAny. Performance is moderate with some heavy scripts and multimedia content, but mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
