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

Cooper Printing Machinery Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer specializing in flexographic printing and converting machinery with over 40 years of industry experience. Their product range includes versatile sheet-fed and reel-to-reel machines targeted at packaging material producers, converters, and end-users worldwide. The company has a global footprint with satisfied customers in over eighty countries, indicating a strong market presence in the manufacturing sector. Technically, the website is built on a Joomla CMS platform using Yootheme templates and the UIkit framework, delivering a responsive and professionally designed user experience. While the site performs moderately well and is mobile optimized, it lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by base href https URL) but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. The WHOIS data could not be retrieved due to a domain naming rules violation error, which likely results from querying a subdomain or incorrect domain format rather than the registered domain itself. No forms or sensitive data exposure were detected, indicating a low immediate risk, but improvements in security headers and compliance documentation are recommended. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy from a business perspective but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security posture to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

Cooper Printing Machinery Ltd operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on flexographic printing machinery for packaging applications. Their competitive advantage lies in over four decades of experience and a broad international customer base. The business model centers on designing, building, and supporting specialized printing equipment. Revenue streams likely include machinery sales and after-sales services. The target customers are packaging producers and converters globally. The website content and structure reflect a small-sized enterprise with consistent branding and moderate digital maturity. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. Growth indicators include a wide geographic customer base and a focus on product reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The website uses HTTPS but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The absence of forms reduces attack surface but also limits user engagement. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. The security culture appears minimal, with no visible certifications or security frameworks referenced. Enhancing security headers, publishing privacy documentation, and establishing incident response contacts would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration details to ensure transparency.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and security contact information.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with Yootheme templates and UIkit framework, providing a modern and responsive design. Performance is moderate with no major errors detected. However, SEO optimization is basic, lacking structured data and Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. No analytics or tracking tools are integrated, which may limit marketing insights but enhances privacy. The technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization efforts such as improved SEO, accessibility, and security enhancements to reduce technical debt and improve user engagement.
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.
