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

Pickup Systems UK is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of bespoke vehicle conversion solutions based in the United Kingdom. The company serves a diverse range of industries requiring custom vehicle body conversions, positioning itself as a leading player in the UK transportation sector. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO to optimize user experience and search engine visibility. The company maintains active social media channels across major platforms, enhancing its market reach and brand engagement. Technically, the website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS to secure communications, although some security headers are missing which could be improved. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent mechanism, but the absence of a dedicated privacy policy and terms of service pages is a notable gap. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website demonstrates good business credibility and technical maturity but would benefit from enhanced security practices and clearer compliance documentation.

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. 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

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

Pickup Systems UK operates in the transportation sector focusing on bespoke vehicle conversions, targeting businesses and industries in need of custom vehicle solutions. Their business model centers on manufacturing and supplying tailored vehicle bodies, which likely generates revenue through direct sales and contracts. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a strong UK market focus. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialization and quality manufacturing capabilities. The active social media presence and professional website design indicate a strategic approach to marketing and customer engagement. However, the lack of publicly available company registration details and privacy policies may affect trust among potential clients. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. Growth indicators such as updated content and social media activity suggest ongoing business development.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication between users and the server, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, indicating limited transparency in security governance. The WHOIS data is missing, which could be a red flag for domain legitimacy and ownership verification. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, but the lack of a privacy policy and terms of service pages suggests incomplete compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and ensuring domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a detailed privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response policy with clear contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update all website plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. The site loads CSS and JS resources efficiently with caching and minification evident from the URLs. Mobile optimization is good, and the site uses responsive design principles. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced for better compliance with standards. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing images and scripts further. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but the absence of security headers and incomplete privacy documentation represent technical risks that could impact business operations and user trust.
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.
