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

Peck Trading Ltd operates a professional B2B e-commerce website specializing in the supply of cleaning, hygiene, engineering, PPE, and safety products primarily targeting UK businesses. The company emphasizes service quality and next day order fulfillment, positioning itself as a reliable supplier in its sector. The website is well-structured with clear navigation and a modern design, leveraging popular frontend technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, alongside Google Analytics for user tracking. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses HTTPS to secure communications. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could enhance protection. No privacy or terms of service pages were detected, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating room for improvement in compliance and transparency. The WHOIS lookup failed due to a domain naming rules violation, which is unusual and reduces trust in domain registration legitimacy, though the website content itself appears professional and legitimate. Overall, the website presents a moderate security posture with good business credibility and technical implementation. The absence of privacy policies and security headers, combined with the WHOIS inconsistency, suggests the need for enhanced compliance and domain registration verification. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen trust and security assurance for users and partners.

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. 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

  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. 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

Peck Trading Ltd targets the retail and manufacturing sectors by supplying essential cleaning, hygiene, and PPE products through an online platform. Their business model focuses on B2B wholesale distribution with an emphasis on stock availability and rapid delivery. The company leverages a professional website to reach business customers, offering product categories such as cleaning chemicals, engineering consumables, and personal protection equipment. The presence of quick order and quotation request features indicates a customer-centric approach tailored to business procurement processes. While the company appears small in size, its consistent branding and clear contact channels support a credible market presence. The lack of visible partnerships or subsidiaries suggests a focused, independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, securing data in transit. However, the absence of key security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms are present but lack explicit CSRF tokens or security attributes visible in the markup. The site does not provide a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for compliance with GDPR and NIS2 regulations. The WHOIS data inconsistency raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhanced policies, headers, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and compliance.
  4. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and widely supported technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 3.4.1, Font Awesome 6.5.1, and various UI enhancement libraries such as Select2 and DataTables. Google Analytics is integrated for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and CDN-hosted libraries improving load times. However, the CMS or backend platform is not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to modernize by upgrading Bootstrap to a newer version and implementing progressive web app features. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA labels and screen reader text present but could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports business needs but has room for modernization and enhanced security integration.
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.
