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

Edition Digital is a UK-based technology company specializing in smart digital publishing software that integrates content creation, management, distribution, monetization, and analytics. Their platform targets publishers and media companies seeking responsive, cross-platform digital magazine solutions with gamification features. The website presents a professional image with clear navigation and good content quality, supported by modern JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics integration. However, the absence of WHOIS data and explicit privacy policies slightly detracts from overall trustworthiness. Security measures include Google reCAPTCHA and cookie consent, but lack of HTTP security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicate room for improvement. Overall, the site is accessible and functional, with moderate technical maturity and a solid business proposition.

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. 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Edition Digital operates in the digital publishing technology sector, offering SaaS solutions that unify multiple aspects of digital content lifecycle management. Their business model focuses on subscription-based services accessed via a console platform. The company appears small but specialized, with a clear UK presence and a niche market focus. Their ecosystem includes related domains for user management and support, indicating a structured service offering. Marketing efforts leverage Google Ads and Analytics, suggesting active customer acquisition strategies. The lack of detailed company registration data and privacy policies suggests potential gaps in compliance and transparency that could impact customer trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS usage, Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation, and a cookie consent banner addressing GDPR requirements. However, the absence of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the site's defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. The use of older JavaScript libraries may pose potential security risks if not regularly updated. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced header configurations, documented policies, and proactive vulnerability management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to improve inclusivity and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a traditional front-end stack centered on jQuery and related plugins, indicating a mature but somewhat dated technology approach. Hosting appears managed via a dedicated domain subdomain, suggesting control over infrastructure. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization considered good, supported by viewport meta tags and responsive design elements. SEO is addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data, though structured data like JSON-LD is absent. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt may exist due to older libraries and missing modern security headers, presenting opportunities for modernization and improved resilience.
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.
