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

BoxMart is a UK-based wholesale packaging supplier specializing in gift boxes, hamper boxes, bottle boxes, and bespoke packaging solutions. The company emphasizes eco-friendly and recyclable packaging, targeting businesses and resellers in the UK market. The website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern e-commerce technologies and integrations such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Klaviyo for marketing and analytics. The site is well-structured with comprehensive product categorization and a professional design that supports a positive user experience across devices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit security and incident response policies are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to querying the subdomain rather than the registered domain, but the website's professional presence and consistent branding support legitimacy. Overall, BoxMart demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for its business model, with room for improvement in transparency around security policies and incident response.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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

BoxMart operates as a medium-sized retail business focused on wholesale packaging solutions in the UK. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a wide range of packaging products with an emphasis on eco-friendly materials and bespoke printing options. The business model is primarily B2B e-commerce, serving resellers and companies needing packaging supplies. The website's integration with marketing tools like Klaviyo and Facebook Pixel indicates active customer engagement and remarketing strategies. The presence of a consultation booking feature suggests a consultative sales approach. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides clear contact channels, enhancing customer trust. The lack of visible certifications or security policies may be an area for future development to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and standard security headers, indicating a solid baseline security posture. Forms are protected with hCaptcha to mitigate automated abuse. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS lookup failure is due to a technical query error rather than suspicious activity. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details if applicable under GDPR.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and marketing integrations for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, a robust and widely used e-commerce platform, ensuring reliable hosting and infrastructure. The tech stack includes Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Klaviyo, and hCaptcha, reflecting a modern approach to analytics, marketing, and security. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. The WHOIS query failure is a minor technical issue unrelated to the website's infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is strong, supporting business operations effectively.
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.
