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

CitySprint is a well-established UK courier and parcel delivery service offering a range of express delivery options including same day, next day, and international services. The company targets both business and individual customers across the UK, providing online booking and account management capabilities. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with good content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies such as React and integrates marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and TradeDoubler. Cookie consent and privacy policies are implemented, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is present. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain naming rules error, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not directly impact the operational security posture. Overall, CitySprint's website is professional and trustworthy with moderate to good security and privacy practices. Strategic improvements in transparency around security policies and enhanced accessibility would further strengthen their digital maturity and trust profile.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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

CitySprint operates in the transportation sector as a courier and logistics provider with a large UK market presence. Their business model focuses on express parcel delivery services with a strong online booking platform. The company serves a broad customer base including healthcare, retail, and public sector clients. The website indicates a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and analytics tools, supporting customer acquisition and retention. Partnerships with platforms like Salesforce for customer care and TradeDoubler for affiliate marketing suggest a well-developed ecosystem. The lack of WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but does not detract from the company's established market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers. Privacy compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in security transparency and incident readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and incident management information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and accessible security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and integrates several third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Salesforce Embedded Messaging, and TradeDoubler for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes cookie consent management via OneTrust. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of JavaScript assets. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple external scripts which require continuous security monitoring.
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.
