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

YESSS Electrical is a prominent UK-wide electrical wholesaler and retailer, offering a vast range of over 10,000 electrical products sourced from leading UK brands. With a strong market presence supported by over 95 physical stores nationwide and an online platform, they cater to both trade professionals and public customers. Their services include technical assistance, free design services, next day delivery, and click & collect options, positioning them as a comprehensive supplier in the electrical industry. The company emphasizes competitive pricing and extensive product availability, reinforcing their position as a fast-growing leader in the UK electrical wholesale market. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Google reCAPTCHA, and Visual Website Optimizer, ensuring a responsive and interactive user experience. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and incorporates standard SEO and accessibility practices, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses reCAPTCHA for form protection, and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy or incident response page suggests areas for improvement in security posture. Overall, YESSS Electrical demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with good compliance and security practices. Strategic enhancements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility would further strengthen their risk management and user trust.

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

3 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

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

YESSS Electrical holds a strong market position as a leading electrical wholesaler and retailer in the UK, targeting both trade and public customers. Their extensive store network and online presence provide competitive advantages in accessibility and service delivery. The business model focuses on wholesale distribution complemented by retail sales, supported by value-added services such as technical assistance and design support. Revenue streams likely include product sales, trade accounts, and possibly credit facilities. The company shows growth indicators through its expanding store footprint and digital marketing investments. Partnerships with major electrical brands and use of third-party analytics and marketing tools indicate a mature partnership ecosystem. The company's operations reflect a strategic focus on customer convenience, product range, and compliance with industry standards.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The presence of multiple ISO certifications, including ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, underscores a commitment to security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. There is no visible incident response or security policy page, nor dedicated security contact channels, which could impact incident handling readiness and transparency. Overall, the security measures in place are solid but could be improved with additional headers and clearer incident response information.

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. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page outlining procedures and contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish explicit security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses for reporting vulnerabilities or incidents.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced via external dependencies.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery 3.7.0 and Bootstrap 5.3.0, facilitating responsive design and interactive features. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel enables robust analytics and marketing capabilities. The use of Visual Website Optimizer indicates active A/B testing and optimization efforts. The site employs Google reCAPTCHA for form security and Termly for cookie consent management, demonstrating attention to compliance and security. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical infrastructure supports a large-scale retail operation with extensive product and store data, indicating a mature digital presence with opportunities for further modernization and performance tuning.
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.
