BOXTEC is a UK-based technology company specializing in customer engagement solutions across multiple sectors including retail, hospitality, gaming, healthcare, and industry. Established in 2000, BOXTEC offers a comprehensive suite of services from design and integration to ongoing support and maintenance, positioning itself as a trusted partner for large enterprises and Tier 1 clients. The company demonstrates a strong market presence with a medium-sized operation and a focus on innovation and quality service delivery. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a robust tech stack including jQuery, GSAP, and Slick Carousel, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. SEO and accessibility are well addressed, with structured data and meta tags properly implemented. The site uses Google Analytics with privacy-conscious settings and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management, but lacks some advanced security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact. The WHOIS data is consistent and trustworthy, with a long domain age and no privacy protection masking, enhancing legitimacy. Minor improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and publishing a security.txt file could further strengthen security posture. Overall, BOXTEC's website reflects a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious digital presence aligned with its business objectives. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, formalizing incident response disclosures, and continuing to maintain transparency and compliance to foster trust and resilience.

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. 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

  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

  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

BOXTEC operates in a competitive technology solutions market, focusing on customer engagement hardware and software for retail and related sectors. Its business model integrates product manufacturing, software development, and managed services, enabling diversified revenue streams. The company leverages a strong partnership ecosystem and showcases reputable clients, indicating solid market positioning. Growth indicators include recent product launches and industry awards. The company targets medium to large enterprises seeking integrated technology solutions, emphasizing innovation and service excellence. The partnership network and certifications like ISO 27001 reinforce BOXTEC's credibility and operational maturity. The website content and structure support lead generation and client engagement, with clear calls to action and detailed service descriptions. BOXTEC's strategic focus on technology integration and managed services positions it well for sustained growth in evolving markets.

Security posture

BOXTEC demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and the use of anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics reflects privacy awareness. However, the lack of a public security policy or incident response contact may limit transparency and responsiveness to security incidents. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating adherence to recognized security standards internally. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced external communication of security policies and technical hardening measures. Implementing security.txt and publishing incident response contacts would improve trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Add a security.txt file at the root of the website to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and communication with security researchers.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are present.

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.
