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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

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 targets trade customers in specific sectors requiring high-quality marketing displays and eco-friendly print solutions. Its business model focuses on B2B sales and manufacturing, supported by a parent company ecosystem. The presence of certifications like Constructionline Gold Accreditation and multiple client testimonials enhances its competitive advantage. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The company maintains sister sites related to flagpoles and creative services, suggesting a diversified but related business portfolio.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA protecting user inputs. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a dedicated security policy or incident response contact information, which are recommended for enhanced security governance and compliance. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, reflecting awareness of data protection requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit contact channels for security incidents such as abuse@ or security@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, leveraging popular JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and HubSpot for lead capture forms. The site is hosted via GoDaddy, with SSL properly configured. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. There is some technical debt in the form of missing security headers and basic accessibility features, which could be improved to reduce risk and enhance user experience.
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.
