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

Buxton Press Limited is an award-winning commercial printing company based in Buxton, United Kingdom, specializing in high-quality litho, commercial, and digital printing services including magazines, brochures, catalogues, and directories. The company positions itself as a trusted print provider with a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, evidenced by ISO 14001 certification and eco-friendly practices. Their market presence is supported by a professional website with clear branding and extensive service descriptions, targeting magazine publishers, commercial clients, and advertising agencies nationwide. Technically, the website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, optimized for mobile and desktop with fast loading times and good SEO practices. The site lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. No forms collecting personal data were detected on the homepage, reducing immediate privacy risks. Social media integration is robust, with active accounts on major platforms. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency. This discrepancy should be investigated further to ensure trustworthiness. Overall, Buxton Press presents a professional and credible business front with strong technical implementation but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer domain registration transparency to improve trust and security posture.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Buxton Press operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically commercial printing, serving a broad client base including independent and international magazine publishers, commercial businesses, and agencies. Their competitive advantage lies in high-volume production capacity, investment in cutting-edge Heidelberg press technology, and a strong environmental commitment. The business model focuses on providing end-to-end printing solutions with fast turnaround and competitive pricing. The company maintains a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and trust signals such as awards and certifications. Growth indicators include high weekly impressions and magazine production volumes. The company leverages digital platforms for client engagement but lacks explicit privacy and security policy disclosures, which could impact customer trust in regulated markets.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and shows no signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, and there is no security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR and similar frameworks. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements in policy transparency and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the website to ensure GDPR compliance and build user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and incident response.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Add explicit incident response contact information and consider appointing a Data Protection Officer to strengthen security governance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. The use of preloading fonts and images indicates optimization efforts. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML and well-organized navigation menus. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site lacks some accessibility features but overall provides a good user experience. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and privacy compliance features would enhance the technical robustness.
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.
