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

EPD Worldwide is a specialized IT services company focusing on simplifying and enhancing the renewal of IT services with OEMs globally. Leveraging over 10 years of expertise, advanced technology, and data analytics, they provide multi-country and multi-OEM IT service procurement solutions. Their services aim to reduce complexity and cost while increasing renewal rates and revenue for their clients. The company operates primarily in the technology sector with a medium-sized business footprint based in the United Kingdom and is part of the Annuity Management Group. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Uncode theme and several plugins including GravityView and WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site employs modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility is basic. Security is enforced via HTTPS, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which impacts overall trustworthiness. Overall, EPD Worldwide presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with strong business and technical foundations but should address domain registration transparency and enhance security headers and incident response disclosures to improve 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
    • 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

  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';…

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

EPD Worldwide occupies a niche market position as a global IT service renewal specialist, targeting OEMs and business partners requiring multi-country IT service procurement. Their competitive advantage lies in their focused expertise, technology-driven approach, and extensive global distributor network. The business model centers on service provision with recurring revenue streams from renewal management. The company’s partnership with the Annuity Management Group enhances its market credibility. Growth indicators include a broad geographic reach and a portfolio of over 700 business partners. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparent domain registration and expanding security and compliance disclosures to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information. Use of Google Tag Manager and cookie consent indicates awareness of privacy and tracking compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of explicit security or incident response policies are gaps. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and could indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adding formal security policies, incident response contacts, and enhanced HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy, or clarify privacy protection if applicable.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with web accessibility standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Uncode theme, optimized with WP Rocket for performance. It employs jQuery and Google Tag Manager for interactivity and analytics. The site loads scripts with lazy loading and deferring techniques to improve speed. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and font loading optimizations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data links. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, and no advanced CDN or security services are detected. The site could benefit from improved accessibility and enhanced security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
