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 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

      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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

TDUK positions itself as the largest supply chain body for timber in the UK, indicating a strong market presence and influence within the industry. Its business model revolves around membership services, resource provision, and event organization, targeting businesses involved in timber supply, design, and construction. The website's integration of partner finders and product databases suggests a focus on facilitating business connections and knowledge sharing. The presence of social media channels and active content updates indicates ongoing engagement with its audience. While direct revenue streams are not explicit, the organization's offerings imply membership fees and event participation as primary income sources. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly through member portals or contact forms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates security measures such as Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a baseline security posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site uses reputable plugins and frameworks, which, if kept updated, contribute positively to security. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file may limit transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, utilizing a variety of plugins including Modern Events Calendar Lite, Gravity Forms, Ajax Search Lite, and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature and feature-rich platform. The use of Bootstrap and jQuery supports responsive design and interactive elements. Hosting is provided by 20i Ltd, a reputable UK hosting provider. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and scripts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are present, which may be optimized further. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts for typography. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced by auditing for unused scripts and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
