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

Wrexham Electrical Repairs is a small UK-based business specializing in electro-mechanical repair and servicing of electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, and related equipment. Established since 1979, the company targets industrial and commercial clients requiring maintenance, repair, and supply of electrical and mechanical components. The website provides basic information about services, supported manufacturers, and contact details but lacks modern digital features such as privacy policies or advanced analytics. Technically, the website uses older JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.7.1 and a lightweight CSS framework (5grid). The design and mobile optimization are basic, with moderate performance and limited SEO and accessibility features. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident. Security posture is weak due to outdated libraries, absence of visible security headers, and lack of HTTPS confirmation in the provided data. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable and flagged as invalid by the UK registry due to domain naming rules violations, raising concerns about domain legitimacy or configuration. Despite this, the website content appears legitimate and business-focused, with clear contact information and no suspicious or adult content. Overall, the website scores moderately on content and business credibility but poorly on security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security, privacy policies, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  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 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';…

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

Wrexham Electrical Repairs operates in the energy and manufacturing sectors, providing specialized repair and maintenance services for electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, and related equipment. The company leverages a long operational history since 1979 as a competitive advantage, positioning itself as a trusted local specialist. Revenue streams likely include service contracts, repair jobs, and equipment sales. The target customer base includes industrial clients requiring electro-mechanical solutions. The website indicates partnerships with multiple manufacturers but lacks digital partnerships or integrations. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal online presence and outdated technology. The company’s marketing ecosystem is basic, relying on direct contact rather than digital channels.

Security posture

The current security posture is low to moderate. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which are critical for protecting data in transit and mitigating common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The lack of security best practices and modern protections exposes the business to potential risks that could impact operational continuity and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current supported versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  4. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and publish contact channels for security issues or vulnerability disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using older front-end technologies including jQuery 1.7.1 and the 5grid CSS framework. It lacks a modern CMS or platform integration, which limits scalability and ease of content management. Performance is moderate but could be improved with updated libraries and optimization. Mobile responsiveness is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. SEO optimization is limited, with sparse meta descriptions and keywords. The hosting environment and SSL configuration are not identifiable from the data provided, which suggests a need for infrastructure review. Overall, the technical stack is outdated and requires modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
