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

Phoenix Tavinor Engineering is a UK-based sub-contract manufacturing company specializing in production machining and sheet metal solutions. Established in 1998 and operating from Tamworth, the company offers services including CNC machining, laser cutting, fabrication, and powder coating. The website reflects a mature business with a solid market position and a focus on quality and customer care. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Slider Revolution, and it employs Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is hosted by a reputable UK registrar with DNSSEC enabled and uses HTTPS, indicating good baseline security. However, the absence of published privacy, cookie, and security policies suggests gaps in compliance and transparency. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

6 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.

    • 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 APIs

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

  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

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 manufacturing clients requiring precision machining and sheet metal processing. Its business model is based on sub-contract manufacturing with a focus on medium to high volume production runs. The website content and domain age support a stable and established operation. The lack of social media presence or additional digital marketing tools indicates a potentially traditional or niche market approach. The partnership with Expand Digital Media for website design suggests investment in professional digital presence. No certifications or industry accreditations are displayed, which could be an area for growth to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security fundamentals with HTTPS, DNSSEC, and Google reCAPTCHA integration. However, it lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No advanced security headers were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance risks under GDPR. There are no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by publishing relevant policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and display a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0.2 with WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution plugins, indicating a modern CMS platform with drag-and-drop design capabilities. The site uses Google Fonts, Font Awesome icons, and jQuery libraries. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design elements. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. Hosting is provided by 123-Reg Limited, a reputable UK registrar with DNSSEC enabled, enhancing DNS security. There is room for technical improvements in security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
