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. 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"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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

The business positions itself as a specialized distributor in the energy sector, specifically racing fuels. Its market presence is regional with a long operational history, though the domain is relatively new, possibly indicating a recent digital expansion. The business model relies on direct distribution and customer engagement through phone and online contact. The partnership with VP Racing Fuels is evident through external linking and branding. The absence of social media presence suggests a traditional or niche marketing approach. The website content and structure support a small-sized enterprise focused on a specific customer segment within the motorsports industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect form submissions. Domain registration includes EPP status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, enhancing domain security. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicate room for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could be a gap for compliance and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement standard security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated privacy policy and security policy on the company domain to improve transparency.
  4. Consider adding incident response contact information for security issues.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using GoDaddy Website Builder, leveraging standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with embedded Google reCAPTCHA. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy, consistent with the domain registrar. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization present but basic accessibility features. The site uses multiple font-face declarations for typography but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. External dependencies include Google policy pages and YouTube embeds. The technical stack is simple and suitable for a small business but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
