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

Wavefront Systems Limited is a specialized technology company focused on advanced sonar systems for underwater detection and navigation. The company positions itself as a world leader in sonar specialist technology, targeting businesses and organizations requiring precise underwater detection solutions. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing engineering excellence and innovation in sonar technology. The business model is primarily B2B, offering specialized sonar technology services and products. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, supplemented by plugins for SEO, GDPR compliance, and anti-spam protection. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, with a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager and FontAwesome. SEO practices are well implemented with proper metadata and structured data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs anti-spam and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website presents a moderate to good security posture and business credibility, with privacy compliance well addressed. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for technology companies and does not raise immediate concerns. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response contacts, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

5 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. 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

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

Wavefront Systems operates in the niche market of sonar technology, serving clients who require underwater detection and navigation solutions. Their market positioning as a world-leading sonar specialist suggests a focus on innovation and engineering excellence. The business model is B2B, likely generating revenue through technology sales, custom engineering services, and possibly consulting. The website content and metadata indicate a small-sized company with a focused industry presence. The absence of detailed company history or financial data limits deeper business intelligence insights. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers and uses modern digital marketing tools to reach its audience. Growth indicators are not explicitly visible but the professional online presence suggests an established operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enabled and anti-spam protections in place. Privacy and cookie policies indicate awareness of GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests room for improvement in security governance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating a secure operational environment. The lack of a security.txt file or dedicated security contact channels may hinder rapid incident response. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for the business scale but requiring enhancements to meet higher standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to foster responsible security communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS (WordPress) with the Divi theme, indicating a flexible and user-friendly content management environment. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Tag Manager, FontAwesome, and plugins for GDPR compliance and anti-spam, reflecting a modern and standard web infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing advanced security headers. The site would benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
