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

Rollforming Services Ltd is a New Zealand-based manufacturer specializing in precision light gauge steel roll-formed components for the construction sector. The company offers contract manufacturing services for a variety of steel profiles including framing, trusses, floor joists, purlins, and custom profiles. Backed by Howick Ltd, a notable New Zealand roll forming machine producer, Rollforming Services positions itself as a provider of efficient, accurate, and locally made steel construction solutions. The website reflects a professional and well-branded presence targeting construction businesses seeking smart building materials. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Vue.js, Google Analytics, and marketing automation tools, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though lacks some security headers and explicit incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance features.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

    • 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

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 operates in the manufacturing and construction sectors, focusing on light gauge steel components for New Zealand's building industry. Its business model revolves around contract manufacturing and supply chain efficiency, leveraging local production and advanced roll-forming technology. The target customers include group home builders, commercial contractors, and infrastructure developers. The backing by Howick Group provides a competitive advantage in technology and market credibility. The website's content and social media presence support a growth-oriented and customer-focused approach. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and limited direct contact information may hinder trust for some clients. The company appears to maintain a niche but essential role in New Zealand's construction supply chain.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA for form protection, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing despite the use of tracking and marketing scripts, indicating a compliance gap with privacy regulations such as GDPR. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent would improve the security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website footer or dedicated pages.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by adding verified company emails and phone numbers for customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Vue.js for frontend interactivity, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and marketing automation tools for customer engagement. Lazy loading of images improves performance, and Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with clear navigation. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for compliance with standards. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility 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.
