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

Pyro 2000 Ltd is a small, family-run professional firework display company based in Huddersfield, UK, with over 50 years of industry experience. They provide fireworks for weddings, corporate events, live concerts, charity events, and international competitions, positioning themselves as a reputable and experienced player in the event pyrotechnics market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and a strong social media presence. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, it lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for compliance and security best practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which slightly impacts trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional presentation and business legitimacy evident on the site. Overall, the website is well-designed and trustworthy for its business purpose, but improvements in privacy compliance and security headers are recommended to enhance security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Pyro 2000 Ltd operates in the hospitality and events sector, specializing in professional firework displays. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing history, international experience, and family-run business model that emphasizes personalized service. Revenue streams likely derive from event contracts including weddings, corporate events, and international competitions. The target customers include private individuals, event planners, and corporate clients primarily in the UK but also internationally. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with web development providers and active social media engagement, supporting brand visibility and customer trust. Strategic observations suggest a stable niche market presence with opportunities to enhance digital compliance and security to support growth and customer confidence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a cookie consent mechanism indicate gaps in security best practices and privacy compliance. There is no evidence of published incident response or security policies, which limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partial, as a privacy policy exists but cookie consent is missing. The security culture appears basic but can be improved by adopting formal policies and enhancing technical controls. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected, but improvements are recommended to reduce risk and align with regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of Google Analytics.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain information is accurate and consistent with business identity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts, which supports responsive design and good user experience. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site loads a variety of CSS and JS resources hosted on the same domain, indicating centralized hosting. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site build. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for modernization to meet current web standards and compliance requirements.
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.
