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

Permag Ltd is a small UK-based manufacturing company specializing in the production and supply of strip wound magnetic cores since 1982. The company serves the transformer industry and other industrial magnetics sectors, offering flexible order quantities, worldwide delivery, and technical support. Their website presents a professional but basic digital presence with product images and clear contact information. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain www.permag.net raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status, which conflicts with the company's claimed long operational history. Technically, the website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Google Analytics for tracking but lacks visible HTTPS enforcement and security headers, indicating a weak security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, reducing compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences and business-focused but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Permag Ltd operates in a niche manufacturing sector, supplying magnetic cores to industrial clients globally. Their competitive advantages include no minimum order quantities, next-day dispatch for small batches, and ISO 9001:2015 certification, which supports quality assurance. The business model is direct manufacturing and supply with technical advisory services. The website targets industrial manufacturers and engineers needing magnetic materials. The lack of domain WHOIS data and privacy policies may impact trust with new customers. The company appears stable but could benefit from enhanced digital trust signals and compliance measures to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low to moderate. Key vulnerabilities include the absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers, no visible privacy or cookie policies, and no incident response contacts. The use of Google Analytics without clear privacy compliance is a concern. No forms or sensitive data collection points reduce exposure risk, but the missing domain registration data is a critical trust issue. The company should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, privacy policies, and a formal incident response mechanism to improve security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Obtain and maintain proper domain registration records to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  4. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including Google Analytics for visitor tracking. There is no evidence of a CMS or modern web frameworks. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization noted. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are basic, indicating potential technical debt and modernization opportunities. The lack of HTTPS and security headers presents technical risks. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and requires upgrades to meet current web standards and security best practices.
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.
