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

TRS Tyre & Wheel is a New Zealand-based company specializing in the supply of tyres and wheels for agricultural, construction, forestry, mining, materials handling, and truck sectors. The company offers a broad product range including multiple tyre categories and brands such as Yokohama, Trelleborg, and Mitas. Their website supports trade customers with a login system and provides online search and ordering capabilities, positioning them as a regional supplier with a focus on heavy industry and agriculture. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, StackAdapt advertising, Bootstrap framework, and lazy loading for images. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security is reasonably well implemented with HTTPS, secure login forms, and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers are not explicitly detected and could be improved. The security posture is solid with no obvious vulnerabilities detected in the content. Privacy compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and terms and conditions are clearly available. However, no explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which could be areas for enhancement. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but the absence of WHOIS data limits verification of domain legitimacy. The business appears credible and established in its sector, with a moderate risk profile primarily due to incomplete domain registration 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

3 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. 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. 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

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

TRS Tyre & Wheel operates in the transportation sector, targeting agricultural, construction, forestry, mining, and trucking industries in New Zealand. Their business model includes B2B and B2C sales with an emphasis on trade customers facilitated by an online login and ordering system. The company leverages partnerships with major tyre brands and maintains a dealer and branch network. Their market positioning is that of a specialized regional supplier with a focus on quality and service. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Growth indicators include active news updates and a broad product catalog. Strategic partnerships include brand affiliations and a site design partner (SeventyTwo).

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they are up to date and free from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and StackAdapt for advertising. Lazy loading of images improves performance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring. The site is well structured but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
