Risk levelMedium

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

Scolmore Group operates a website focused on wiring accessories and circuit protection products for domestic, commercial, and industrial use. The company appears to be an established UK-based manufacturer with a domain registered since 1998, indicating a mature business presence. The website's technical infrastructure includes modern font libraries, Cloudflare DNS, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit contact information or security policies are present in the analyzed content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens present, but missing security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms reduce the overall security maturity. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing no privacy protection and a long registration history, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

5 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

  2. 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

  3. 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
    • 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

The company targets electricians, contractors, and industrial customers by providing wiring accessories and circuit protection solutions. Its business model is manufacturing and distribution within the energy sector. The long domain age and consistent WHOIS data suggest a stable market position. The website content is basic but consistent with the brand, focusing on product offerings without extensive marketing or partner disclosures. Tracking and analytics tools indicate some level of digital marketing sophistication, though no affiliate or advertising networks were detected. The absence of detailed business contact information or certifications limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a notable gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are visible, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including FontAwesome 6 Pro icons, Google Fonts, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. It is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, which provides some level of protection and performance optimization. The presence of Laravel Livewire scripts suggests a dynamic backend framework. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal with some meta tags but lacking comprehensive Open Graph and Twitter card metadata. The site would benefit from enhanced technical SEO, accessibility improvements, and performance tuning to improve user experience and search visibility.
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.
