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

RED Engineering is a UK-based engineering services company specializing in delivering projects that enhance safety in hazardous environments. Founded in 2023, the company focuses on supporting clients in construction, maintenance, and decommissioning within the energy sector. Their website highlights a trusted partnership approach, client satisfaction, and recognized certifications such as SGS and Cyber Essentials. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality engineering solutions and testing facilities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and frameworks like WPBakery, Bootstrap, and jQuery. The hosting is provided by Zen Internet Limited, a reputable UK hosting provider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks some advanced accessibility and SEO features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and displays certifications indicating a commitment to quality and safety. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image with solid business credibility. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security best practices, which should be addressed to improve the 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

9 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

RED Engineering positions itself as a specialized engineering partner in the energy sector, focusing on safety and project delivery in hazardous environments. Their competitive advantage lies in their quality certifications, client testimonials, and comprehensive service offerings including construction, maintenance, and decommissioning projects. The business model is service-oriented, targeting industrial clients with complex engineering needs. The company shows growth potential given its recent founding and active digital presence. Partnerships and certifications enhance credibility, though no explicit partner domains were identified. The company maintains active social media channels to engage with its audience and share updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and certifications displayed. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, publishing privacy documents, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using WPBakery Page Builder and several JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Swiper for UI components and media handling. The hosting provider is Zen Internet Limited, a reputable UK-based registrar and host. The site loads media-rich content including videos and image carousels, which may impact performance but is managed with lazy loading and caching. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is present but could be enhanced with better meta tags and structured data. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to modernize the technical posture.
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.
