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. 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. 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

    • 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

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

IPW1 operates in the printing industry with a focus on hospitality and creative sectors in London. Its competitive advantage lies in advanced printing technology partnerships and a comprehensive service offering. The business model centers on B2B printing services with value-added finishing and installation. The website's content and testimonials indicate a strong client base and market presence. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to engage customers and optimize operations. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The firm appears small but well-established with a clear brand identity and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses service workers for enhanced performance. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking scripts responsibly with cookie consent. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data inconsistencies to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the MultiScreenSite CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.0 and skrollr for animations. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and Snowplow for comprehensive analytics and marketing tracking. Fonts used include Amiko and Source Sans Pro, with FontAwesome icons. The site uses a service worker for offline support and performance optimization. Hosting is via a static CDN provider ensuring fast content delivery. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and basic accessibility implementation, which can be addressed to improve overall robustness.
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.
