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

Epos Now is a UK-based provider of comprehensive point of sale (EPOS) solutions targeting small to medium businesses and enterprises primarily in the retail and hospitality sectors. Their offerings include hardware bundles, payment processing services, software add-ons, and integrations designed to streamline business operations and improve customer experience. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses Silverstripe CMS and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a focus on data-driven marketing and user experience optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, security headers implied, and secure form handling with recaptcha. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published, representing an area for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the website content and branding strongly suggest a legitimate and established business. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, security, privacy compliance, and business credibility, making it a trustworthy platform for its target audience.

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

3 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Epos Now holds a strong market position as a provider of EPOS solutions with over 80,000 global locations using their systems. Their business model combines hardware sales, SaaS software subscriptions, and integrated payment processing, targeting retail and hospitality sectors. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with popular platforms like Shopify, Mailchimp, and Xero to enhance their ecosystem. Their marketing strategy includes extensive use of analytics and retargeting tools, indicating a sophisticated approach to customer acquisition and retention. The website's multi-country presence and localized content demonstrate a global expansion strategy. Despite the lack of public WHOIS data, the brand's trust signals such as customer testimonials, press releases, and Trustpilot integration reinforce their credibility. The absence of explicit security and incident response policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen customer trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security best practices observed, including the use of Content Security Policy and CSRF tokens. Forms incorporate recaptcha to mitigate automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of data protection officer contact information also indicates a potential compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations for security vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Silverstripe CMS 4.13, a modern and flexible content management system. It uses a combination of JavaScript libraries including Slick Carousel for UI components and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics services such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, and Visual Website Optimizer. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with efficient use of preconnect and async script loading. The technical implementation reflects a well-maintained and modern infrastructure, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to enhance performance further by optimizing third-party script loading and caching strategies.
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.
