Status Graphite presents itself as a niche manufacturer of hand-made graphite basses and guitars based in England, with a business history dating back to 1981. The website content is minimal and uses outdated technology, lacking modern web standards and security features. There is no evidence of privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, or contact information, which limits user trust and compliance with data protection regulations. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain raises concerns about the legitimacy and current operational status of the website. Technically, the site is slow, not mobile optimized, and lacks accessibility features. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and security headers. Overall, the site appears to be a legacy or placeholder site rather than a fully operational modern business website.

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.
Network security
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Critical
Critical Service Exposed: MySQL
Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server
What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company targets musicians and enthusiasts interested in premium graphite basses and guitars, operating in a niche market segment. The business model focuses on manufacturing and selling high-quality hand-made instruments. The website branding is moderately consistent but lacks professional polish and modern digital marketing tools. There is no evidence of partnerships, certifications, or active marketing efforts. The lack of contact details and privacy compliance may hinder customer engagement and trust. The business appears small and specialized, with limited digital presence.
Security posture
The website lacks fundamental security measures such as HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The missing WHOIS data further undermines trust and raises questions about domain ownership and legitimacy. There are no signs of tracking or analytics, which reduces privacy risks but also limits business insights. The overall security maturity is low, exposing the business to potential risks and compliance issues.
Recommendations
Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure user connections.
Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve trust and customer support.
Update website technology to modern standards to improve performance, accessibility, and SEO.
Register the domain properly and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using outdated HTML generated by Adobe PageMill 3.0, indicating legacy infrastructure. There is no evidence of modern frameworks, CMS, or hosting providers. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, resulting in poor user experience. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, limiting data-driven decision making. The absence of HTTPS and security headers exposes users to security risks. Performance is likely slow due to legacy code and lack of optimization. Modernization and security hardening are recommended to reduce technical debt and improve operational resilience.
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.
