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

Quality King Distributors, Inc. operates a wholesale distribution business specializing in national brand merchandise across multiple retail categories. The company targets retail drug stores, supermarkets, mass merchandise outlets, wholesale grocery, convenience stores, and e-commerce suppliers. Their Long Island, NY distribution center supports their operations, emphasizing order accuracy and on-time delivery through inventory management systems. The website reflects a moderate level of digital maturity, utilizing Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend presentation but lacks advanced SEO, accessibility, and mobile optimization features. Security posture is weak due to absence of HTTPS enforcement and security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is not registered, which raises significant legitimacy concerns. Overall, the site presents a professional business front but requires urgent improvements in security, 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

7 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

  3. 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

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 holds a strong market position as an industry leader in the Alternate Source category with a broad product catalog exceeding 5000 national brand items. Their business model focuses on wholesale distribution to diverse retail sectors, leveraging inventory management for customized client needs. The absence of contact information and privacy policies on the website limits customer engagement and trust. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The lack of WHOIS registration data is a critical anomaly that could impact business credibility and customer confidence. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed, limiting deeper financial or operational insights.

Security posture

The current security posture is suboptimal. The website lacks HTTPS enforcement and critical security headers, exposing users to potential interception and attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are implemented, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and other privacy regulations. There is no evidence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data further undermines trust and raises questions about domain legitimacy. While no explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content, the overall security hygiene requires significant enhancement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Register the domain properly and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to enhance legitimacy.
  5. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a classic Bootstrap 2.x framework with jQuery for UI components and carousel functionality. The HTML structure is valid but lacks modern responsive design optimizations beyond basic Bootstrap responsiveness. No CMS or backend platform is identifiable from the HTML. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization techniques detected. Accessibility features are minimal, and SEO meta tags are sparse or empty. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating limited user behavior insights. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but dated and requires modernization to improve performance, accessibility, and SEO.
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.
