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

Dorman and Sons Limited is a well-established family-run commercial printing company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with a history dating back to 1929. The company specializes in lithographic and digital printing, prepress, and finishing services, targeting businesses requiring high-quality print solutions. Their market position is strong locally, supported by a reputation for quality and professionalism. The website reflects their business focus with detailed service descriptions and contact information. Technically, the website uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with HYPE.js for interactive content, but lacks modern CMS or advanced frameworks. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO is minimal. Security posture is weak due to lack of HTTPS confirmation and missing security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating poor privacy compliance. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules violation, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional website content. Overall, the website is functional but requires improvements in security, privacy, and technical modernization to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically commercial printing, serving a regional market in Northern Ireland. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing family business heritage, investment in modern print technology, and comprehensive in-house services including design and finishing. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on short and long print runs with quality assurance. Revenue streams likely come from commercial clients needing lithographic and digital print services. The absence of social media and analytics suggests a traditional marketing approach. Growth indicators include continual investment in technology and a stable customer base. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The website lacks HTTPS confirmation, security headers, and privacy policies, exposing it to potential risks such as data interception and non-compliance with GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Contact forms are not clearly identified or secured. The absence of analytics and tracking reduces privacy risks but also limits insights into user behavior. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which is a significant trust and legitimacy concern. Overall, the security posture requires urgent improvements to protect user data and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure process with contact channels.
  5. Regularly update website technologies and monitor for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the HYPE.js library for animations and interactive content. There is no evidence of a CMS or modern web frameworks. The site is fixed width (800px) and uses a background image repeated horizontally. Mobile optimization is minimal, with a viewport set to 800px width and user-scalable enabled. Performance is moderate but could be improved with responsive design and modern optimization techniques. Accessibility features are basic, with standard HTML elements but no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. SEO is limited to basic meta tags without Open Graph or structured data. Hosting provider and SSL status are not determinable from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation is functional but dated and could benefit from modernization and improved responsiveness.
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.
