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

TIPABIN is a product offering from Howick Limited focused on providing innovative, efficient, and safer manufacturing waste disposal and product handling solutions. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with clear branding, customer testimonials, and detailed product information. The business targets manufacturing and industrial sectors, emphasizing ease of use and safety in waste handling. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, and SharpSpring marketing automation, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, which should be verified to ensure trustworthiness. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS usage implied but lacking explicit security headers and policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance transparency.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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 operates in the manufacturing sector, offering specialized waste disposal bins compatible with forklifts to improve operational efficiency and safety. The business model is product sales supplemented by marketing and customer engagement through digital channels. The website positions TIPABIN as a niche solution with competitive advantages such as durability, ease of use, and safety features. The parent company, Howick Limited, is a recognized entity in precision steel roll-forming technology, lending credibility. The target customers are manufacturing firms requiring waste handling solutions. The marketing ecosystem includes embedded forms and video content to educate and convert visitors. Growth potential exists through expanding industry applications and leveraging Howick's reputation. Strategic partnerships appear limited to the parent company. The lack of direct contact details and privacy policies may hinder customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency and preparedness. The embedded forms rely on third-party marketing automation but do not show explicit anti-CSRF or input validation measures in the HTML. The absence of WHOIS data is a significant red flag for domain legitimacy and could indicate registration or privacy issues. Compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and trust.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a visible security policy and incident response contact details to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Review and secure embedded forms with anti-CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies including Google Fonts and jQuery. It integrates Google Tag Manager and SharpSpring for analytics and marketing automation, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with external CDN usage for assets. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured content. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of visible compliance documentation. Opportunities exist to enhance security, privacy, and domain legitimacy to reduce operational risks.
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.
