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

Assembly Direct Mail is a small business specializing in direct mail marketing services, providing mailing solutions to businesses seeking targeted marketing campaigns. The website is built on WordPress and uses common plugins such as LayerSlider and Slider Revolution for visual content, along with MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration, although the analytics plugin is not fully configured. The technical infrastructure is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and policies. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the website is functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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. 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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

The company operates in a niche direct mail marketing sector, targeting businesses that require mailing services. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on direct mail campaigns. The domain age of 20 years supports a stable market presence. However, the lack of visible contact information and compliance documentation may limit trust and customer engagement. The website's partnership ecosystem is not evident, and no subsidiaries or parent companies are identified. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed. The company could improve transparency and customer trust by adding comprehensive policies and contact details.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance issues with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. The Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured, which may affect data collection and privacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove the plugin if not used to avoid unnecessary data collection.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with popular plugins for sliders and analytics. The hosting provider is LCN.com, indicated by the nameservers. The site uses Google Fonts and jQuery libraries. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present but limited. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks advanced technical SEO and security configurations. There is room for modernization by updating plugins, improving performance, and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
