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

Transfoam Ltd is a small, established UK-based manufacturing business specializing in furniture reupholstery foam and related products. Founded in 1983, it serves clients primarily in West Yorkshire including Leeds, Bradford, and surrounding areas. The company offers bespoke foam conversion services, cut-to-size foam, and fibre and feather products tailored to upholstery and contract furniture sectors. The website reflects a professional local business with clear contact phone number and relevant product information. Technically, the site is built on the MultiScreenSite platform powered by Yell, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools. The site is accessible, uses HTTPS, and includes cookie consent mechanisms, though lacks a dedicated privacy policy page. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and explicit policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration issues, which raises some legitimacy concerns despite the professional site content. Overall, the site is functional and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mx.transfoamltd-pudsey.co.uk.cust.a.hostedemail.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

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 business operates in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on upholstery foam products for B2B customers such as furniture manufacturers and contract furniture providers. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing local presence and bespoke service offerings. The business model is product and service-based with direct sales via phone contact. The website indicates a moderate digital maturity with basic SEO and analytics integration. There is no evidence of extensive partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are limited but the company targets a defined regional market. The marketing ecosystem includes Yell and AddThis tools, supporting local visibility and social sharing.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA and Friendly Captcha to protect forms, indicating awareness of basic security practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies limit the security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS domain registration anomaly is a concern and should be investigated further. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced policies, headers, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Investigate and resolve domain registration issues to ensure domain legitimacy and avoid potential trust issues.
  4. Publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (MultiScreenSite/Yell) using modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.0 and analytics tools such as Piwik (Matomo) and Snowplow. The site loads multiple external scripts and stylesheets from CDN providers, ensuring reasonable performance. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, though structured data like JSON-LD is absent. Accessibility features are minimal but present. The site uses HTTPS with a presumably good SSL configuration. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy disclosures are recommended to enhance overall technical maturity.
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.
