Risk levelHigh

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

Wolf Systems Ltd is a mature UK-based company specializing in software and products that simplify timber engineering. Their offerings include advanced software solutions, metal webs, nailplates, expert support, training, and machinery advice, targeting timber engineering professionals and manufacturers. The company maintains a strong market position supported by certifications such as BBA approval and CE marking, and operates a network of country-specific partner domains across Europe. Technically, the website is built on ASP.NET with modern frontend libraries like Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted on Microsoft IIS. However, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security gap. Security headers are partially implemented, and cookie consent mechanisms are present, indicating some privacy awareness. The WHOIS data confirms a consistent and trustworthy domain registration with no privacy protection, aligning with the company's public identity.

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

6 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

Wolf Systems Ltd operates a B2B business model focused on manufacturing and software solutions for timber engineering. Their competitive advantage lies in combining product manufacturing with proprietary software and comprehensive training services. The company targets timber engineering manufacturers and designers, offering a full ecosystem of products and support. The presence of multiple country-specific partner domains suggests a broad European footprint. The business appears stable with a mature domain and clear contact information, though no parent company or VAT/registration numbers were found in the public data. Their marketing leverages Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for user interaction and spam prevention.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement, exposing users to potential interception risks. While some security headers like X-Frame-Options and HttpOnly cookies are set, critical protections such as HSTS, DNSSEC, and OCSP stapling are missing. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt file is found. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 on the contact form is a positive control against spam. Overall, the site requires urgent improvements in transport layer security and domain protection to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent hijacking.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Improve session management by enabling session resumption and OCSP stapling for SSL.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and frameworks to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance by expanding cookie policy details and GDPR adherence statements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Microsoft IIS 10.0 server running ASP.NET Core, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. ScrollReveal is used for animations, and Google Tag Manager integrates analytics and marketing tags. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and multiple language and country-specific partner links. However, performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating potential monitoring gaps. The lack of HTTPS is a significant technical deficiency. The DNS setup uses LiveDNS nameservers without DNSSEC, and the domain is registered with Fasthosts Internet Ltd. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form spam protection, indicating some modern security practices. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization in security and performance monitoring.
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.
