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

Radioswap is a UK-based e-commerce retailer specializing in two-way radios, walkie-talkies, and related communication accessories. The website presents a professional catalog of products from multiple manufacturers, targeting businesses and professionals in sectors such as security, education, and events. The platform is built on nopCommerce with various plugins enhancing user experience and product presentation. While the technical infrastructure is modern and the site is mobile-optimized, there is a lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing key security headers. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues introduces some risk in domain legitimacy assessment. Overall, the site is functional and credible but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security practices.

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

4 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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

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

Radioswap operates in a niche telecommunications retail market, offering a broad range of two-way radio products and accessories. Their business model focuses on direct online sales and radio hire services, catering to professional and commercial clients. The company maintains partnerships with numerous manufacturers, enhancing product variety and market reach. The presence of detailed product categories and manufacturer listings indicates a mature catalog management approach. However, the lack of explicit company registration or VAT information on the site limits transparency. The phone contact is prominently displayed, supporting customer engagement. Growth opportunities exist in expanding privacy compliance and security transparency to build stronger customer trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The site uses third-party tracking scripts including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, but lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms, raising GDPR compliance concerns. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting readiness for security events. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which is a negative trust indicator. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible links and consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide explicit security and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data issues to improve domain registration legitimacy and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the nopCommerce platform, utilizing multiple SevenSpikes plugins and Kendo UI components for UI and functionality. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of tracking scripts. However, no advanced CDN or hosting provider information was detected. The HTML and CSS appear valid with no major errors. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Technical debt appears low but could be improved with enhanced SEO and security configurations.
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.
