Established in 2010, the company operates from Cambridgeshire and serves both weekend riders and professional racers. Their services include suspension servicing, race preparation, integration of navigation equipment, and rider training. The website reflects a niche market position with clear branding and professional presentation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and related plugins, with modern web technologies and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is hosted with DNS servers linked to the registrar 123-Reg Limited, and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent management but lacks explicit security policies or incident response information.

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

7 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

      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 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

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

Torque Racing Services Ltd occupies a specialized niche in the UK motorcycle aftermarket and rally support sector. Their competitive advantage lies in their expertise in rally-raid bike preparation and suspension tuning, supported by official partnerships such as being an authorized TracTive Service Centre. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on technical modifications, race support, and rider training. Revenue streams likely include servicing fees, product sales (suspension components, navigation equipment), and training courses. The target customers range from amateur enthusiasts to professional racers. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem with brands like TracTive, K-tech, and DMD Navigation, enhancing their market credibility. Growth indicators include upcoming events and active social media presence. The website supports their market presence with clear service descriptions and contact channels.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. The site uses reputable plugins and libraries without known vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small specialized business but could be enhanced by formalizing security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden user reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 7.0.2 platform using Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, supported by jQuery and Google Site Kit for analytics and consent management. The site uses a cookie consent plugin (Complianz GDPR) with granular consent categories, indicating good privacy compliance. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS servers suggest registrar-managed DNS. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site could benefit from additional security headers and performance optimizations to further improve technical robustness.
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.
