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

Winget Limited is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in durable construction equipment such as concrete mixers and site dumpers, with a heritage dating back to 1908. The company emphasizes high-quality UK manufacturing, reliability, and comprehensive after-sales support, positioning itself as a trusted brand in the construction machinery sector. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging WordPress and WooCommerce platforms with modern SEO and analytics tools to engage its target audience effectively. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA integration, though there is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty regarding domain registration legitimacy, but the overall business credibility remains strong based on website content and certifications. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security policies, implementing cookie consent, and publishing incident response information to bolster 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 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. 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

    • 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

Winget operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on construction equipment with a medium-sized business footprint. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing UK manufacturing heritage, quality assurance via ISO9001 certification, and strong customer loyalty supported by extensive parts and service offerings. The business model combines product sales with after-sales service and parts distribution, targeting construction companies, hire firms, and distributors. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem, including professional website design and digital marketing services. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product range and positive customer testimonials. The website's digital maturity is moderate to high, with opportunities to improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security or incident response policy indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact details are not published, which could impact regulatory compliance and user trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for the business size but requiring enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to demonstrate preparedness and build trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance data protection practices by appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, using the Storefront theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Google Analytics integrations. The tech stack is modern and well-maintained, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with clear navigation and professional design. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The lack of hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
