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

RSA Cutting Systems is a UK-based industrial manufacturing company specializing in integrated systems for cutting, deburring, brushing, and sawing. Their product portfolio includes sawing centres, deburring machines, brushes, and saw blades, supported by worldwide service. The company positions itself as a system supplier offering comprehensive solutions to production businesses, emphasizing quality and efficiency. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting industrial customers globally. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and Google Analytics integration, showing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security measures include HTTPS with valid SSL and Google reCAPTCHA on forms, but lack some advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error from Nominet UK, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and contact details support a legitimate business presence. Overall, the site scores well on business credibility and content quality but could improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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. 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

    • 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 sector, focusing on industrial cutting and finishing tools and machinery. Their business model is based on supplying complete systems rather than standalone products, which provides a competitive advantage through integrated solutions. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a UK base and international reach. The presence of social media channels like LinkedIn and YouTube suggests active engagement with customers and industry stakeholders. The lack of detailed company founding information or parent/subsidiary relationships limits deeper business intelligence. The website's structured product divisions and service offerings indicate a mature business with a focus on quality and customer support.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies also indicates gaps in compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting and improve trust.
  4. Conduct a WHOIS domain registration review to resolve inconsistencies and ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and perform regular security audits to maintain a strong security culture and compliance posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, Contact Form 7, and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics. It uses modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification plugins evident. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy/cookie management. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which is a technical concern. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
