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

SBS Electric Supply is a small, regionally focused electrical supply company based in Florence, Alabama, serving the shoals area and the Southeast for over 60 years. The company specializes in utility, commercial, industrial, and residential electrical products, including a lighting showroom and a broad range of electrical supplies. Their market position is that of an established local supplier with a loyal customer base in the energy sector and related industries. The website provides clear contact information and social media presence but lacks modern digital marketing and compliance features. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML and CSS without advanced frameworks or CMS detected. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks accessibility features and SEO enhancements. There is no evidence of HTTPS or security headers, which impacts the security posture negatively. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers, coupled with missing privacy and cookie policies, indicates a low security maturity level. The WHOIS lookup failed to retrieve domain registration data, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status. No incident response or security contact information is provided. Overall, the site is functional but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization. The overall risk assessment suggests moderate business credibility but low technical and security maturity. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, verifying domain registration, and enhancing mobile and accessibility features 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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

SBS Electric Supply operates as a traditional electrical supply distributor with a focus on utility, commercial, industrial, and residential markets in the Southeastern United States. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence and local market knowledge. The business model is primarily wholesale and retail supply with direct customer engagement via phone and showroom visits. Revenue streams likely come from product sales and special orders. The target customers include utility companies, contractors, and homeowners. Growth indicators are limited from the website, with no e-commerce or digital sales channels evident. The partnership ecosystem is minimal, with no partner domains or third-party integrations detected. The company maintains a straightforward operational approach with limited digital transformation.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic and lacks several critical elements. The website does not demonstrate HTTPS usage or security headers, which are fundamental for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a significant red flag that undermines domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security maturity is low, exposing the business to potential risks related to data protection and reputation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML and CSS without modern JavaScript frameworks or CMS platforms. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking technologies, which limits marketing insights but improves privacy. The site has moderate performance but lacks mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The absence of HTTPS and security headers is a critical technical deficiency. The site structure is simple with clear navigation but could benefit from SEO improvements and technical modernization to enhance performance and security.
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.
