Security score

69/100

Risk levelMedium

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

SamacSys Ltd is a UK-based technology company specializing in providing electronic component CAD models including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models. Positioned as a global leader in this niche, the company targets electronics designers and component manufacturers, offering services such as a component search engine, PCB libraries, and librarian services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and social media presence. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, optimized for mobile and SEO, and includes GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, though lacking some advanced security headers. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, impacting domain trustworthiness despite the legitimate business presence. Overall, the site is well-structured, content-rich, and trustworthy from a business perspective, but domain registration transparency should be improved.

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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

SamacSys operates in the technology and manufacturing sectors, focusing on electronic design automation tools and component data services. Their business model revolves around providing free and subscription-based CAD models and librarian services to electronics designers and manufacturers. The company maintains partnerships with recognized industry players such as Arrow and Mouser, enhancing market credibility. Growth indicators include recent news about expanded ECAD model subscriptions with major manufacturers. The company leverages digital marketing tools and maintains active social media channels to engage its target audience. The website content and client logos suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a solid foothold in its niche market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is managed via the Complianz GDPR plugin, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency, which is a risk factor for trust and legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to enhance domain registration transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. SEO is managed with Yoast SEO plugin, and GDPR compliance is handled by the Complianz plugin. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts from Google Fonts and icons from FontAwesome. Performance is moderate with standard optimization practices. The site is mobile-friendly and has a clear navigation structure. There is no evidence of advanced hosting provider details or CDN usage from the provided data. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and WHOIS data transparency are areas for improvement.
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.
