Risk levelMedium

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

Power Action Limited is a medium-sized contract manufacturer specializing in electronic manufacturing services such as BGA placement, rapid prototyping, volume system production, X-ray inspection, and functional testing. Based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, the company leverages regional cost advantages and advanced manufacturing technologies. The website reflects a professional business with clear service offerings and contact information, supported by ISO 9001:2015 certification and regional development grants. Technically, the website uses modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Fonts, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, security posture is limited due to lack of visible security headers and unknown SSL configuration. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies found. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules errors, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite professional website content. Overall, the site is functional and business-focused but requires improvements in security and 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

8 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 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

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

Power Action Limited operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on electronic contract manufacturing services. Their market position is that of an established regional player with over 20 years of experience and significant production volume. The company benefits from government and EU funding to expand capacity and capability. Their business model centers on providing fast turnaround, quality manufacturing, and advanced inspection services to other businesses. The target customers are companies needing PCB assembly and electronic manufacturing. The website indicates a stable business with trust signals such as ISO certification and grant support. The partnership ecosystem is limited in public view, with only a LinkedIn presence and no visible partner domains. Growth indicators include capacity expansion projects. Revenue streams likely derive from contract manufacturing services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but not confirmed, and no security headers detected in the provided data. There is no published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response contact information. No forms are present on the homepage, reducing attack surface but also limiting user interaction. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Tracking via Google Analytics and Tag Manager is present, but privacy compliance is weak. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and improve domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify via external tools.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Resolve domain registration issues or migrate to a properly registered domain to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, Font Awesome for icons, Owl Carousel and Magnific Popup for UI components, and Google Fonts for typography. The site includes a Revolution Slider for dynamic content presentation. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance features, indicating technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
