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

Qualplast (1991) Ltd is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of flock coating services, established in 1977, serving diverse industries including automotive, photographic, and packaging sectors. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and is recognized as a preferred supplier to major automotive brands such as Jaguar and Nissan. Their business model focuses on B2B manufacturing with an emphasis on quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear business information and contact details. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including MooTools, Google reCAPTCHA, Adobe Typekit fonts, and embedded Vimeo videos. While the site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security measures include HTTPS and CAPTCHA protection on forms, but the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates room for improvement in compliance and security posture. The security posture is moderate; HTTPS is enforced and forms are protected, but missing security headers and lack of privacy/cookie policies present compliance risks. The WHOIS data is notably absent, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. No evidence of malicious content or vulnerabilities was found, but the lack of domain registration data and privacy policies reduces overall trust. Overall, Qualplast's website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security headers, published privacy and cookie policies, and improved WHOIS transparency to strengthen trust and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing security best practices, publishing compliance documents, and conducting regular security audits.

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

Qualplast operates as a niche manufacturer specializing in flock coating and injection moulding services, targeting automotive and packaging industries. Their preferred supplier status with major automotive brands and ISO 9001 certification position them as a credible and quality-focused supplier. The company emphasizes innovation and environmental responsibility, including solar panel installation to reduce CO2 emissions. The business model is B2B with a focus on manufacturing and technical service provision. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting their market position. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency and absence of privacy policies may impact customer trust and compliance standing. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Google reCAPTCHA protecting the contact form. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security incident response contacts. The missing WHOIS data further reduces trust in domain legitimacy. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls, compliance documentation, and transparency to improve its security posture and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Improve website accessibility and SEO optimizations to enhance user experience and search visibility.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data transparency issues to strengthen domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of legacy JavaScript framework MooTools 1.5.1 and modern web assets such as Google Fonts, Adobe Typekit, and Google reCAPTCHA v2. Embedded Vimeo video enhances content engagement. The site lacks a detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization techniques detected. Mobile optimization is basic, with no explicit responsive design frameworks identified. SEO is basic with meta description present but Open Graph tags are empty. Accessibility features are minimal. The technical stack is functional but could benefit from modernization and improved standards compliance.
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.
