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.
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
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
QMS operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on quarry and aggregate processing equipment. Their business model combines manufacturing with aftermarket spares and maintenance services, targeting industrial clients in mining and recycling. The company leverages certifications like ISO 9001 to build trust and maintains a strong digital presence with detailed product catalogs and news updates. The domain age and registration details align with the company's claimed history, reinforcing legitimacy. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a focus on quality and customer support, supported by a comprehensive website and active social media channels.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are publicly available, which could be improved to increase transparency and readiness. The site does not show signs of exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities but would benefit from regular security audits and implementation of recommended HTTP headers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but improvable.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to improve compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and several plugins including WooCommerce and Slider Revolution. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site is hosted with a UK-based registrar (123-Reg Limited) and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with some CSS and JS minification and caching observed. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business size and industry, though security headers and cookie compliance need attention.
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.
