44/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Romiley Joinery Ltd is a small UK-based manufacturing business specializing in purpose made joinery products with over 30 years of experience. The company operates a WordPress-based website using the Avada theme, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site includes Google Tag Manager for analytics but lacks visible privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, which impacts privacy compliance. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but no detected security headers or explicit security policies. Overall, the website is functional and moderately professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures to improve trust and compliance.

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. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  3. 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';…

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 targets property owners and builders seeking custom joinery solutions, positioning itself as a specialist with a long-standing local presence. The business model focuses on manufacturing and fitting joinery products. The website content is basic but relevant, supporting the company's market position. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website data. The use of Google Tag Manager suggests some marketing and analytics efforts, though privacy compliance is lacking.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are present, indicating limited security maturity. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Include clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security risks.
  5. Develop an incident response plan and publish relevant contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme and uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided by Easyspace Ltd. The site appears to have moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility features are basic, with proper meta tags present but no advanced structured data or accessibility enhancements detected. The technical stack is standard for small business websites but could be modernized with improved security and privacy features.
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.
