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

Transdrive Engineering Services Ltd operates as a leading European distributor and stockist of power transmission products, including industrial motors, gearboxes, and drives. The company targets industrial and manufacturing sectors, offering over 6000 product lines and technical support services. Their website reflects a professional business presence with clear contact information and product offerings, positioning them as a key player in their niche market. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Umbraco CMS, and integrates Google Analytics and live chat support. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, and SEO practices are adequately implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or security policies. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, raising concerns about domain legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities were detected in the content, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but requires enhancements in security posture and compliance documentation to strengthen trust and reduce potential risks.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: RPC

      Port 135 (RPC) is publicly accessible - RPC - Windows RPC endpoint

      What to do: Consider restricting access to RPC or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  3. 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 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';…

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

Transdrive holds a strong market position as a distributor and stockist in the manufacturing and energy sectors, focusing on power transmission products. Their business model centers on supplying a broad product range with technical support, targeting industrial clients across Europe. The company appears medium-sized, founded in 2004, with no publicly listed parent or subsidiary companies. Their partnership ecosystem includes multiple well-known manufacturers featured on the site. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product catalog and active customer support channels. However, the lack of detailed corporate information and missing privacy policies may limit transparency and customer trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, indicating baseline privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS data anomaly introduces uncertainty about domain legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls, documented policies, and regular security audits to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and transparency.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Verify and correct domain registration details to resolve WHOIS inconsistencies and improve legitimacy.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies.
  5. Conduct regular security assessments and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Umbraco CMS and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and compatibility across devices. It integrates common libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr, and uses Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. The presence of live chat enhances user engagement. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit performance optimization indicators. The technical debt appears low but could be reduced further by modernizing scripts and improving accessibility features. Hosting details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
