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 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';…

  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

Joyce Design operates in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, focusing on vehicle branding and signage. Their competitive advantage lies in their 3M Platinum Partner accreditation, extensive experience, and nationwide UK service coverage. The business model centers on providing bespoke design, manufacturing, and fitting services for vehicle graphics and related branding solutions. Revenue streams likely include project-based contracts with fleet companies, motorsport clients, and commercial enterprises. The company targets medium to large businesses requiring high-quality branding and signage. Partnerships with industry leaders like 3M and endorsements from clients such as McLaren Automotive enhance their market credibility. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and strong online presence with client testimonials and certifications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and should be implemented to mitigate risks like clickjacking and content injection. The use of reputable plugins and tracking tools is noted, but regular updates and security audits are recommended. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for the business size and industry, but enhancements in formal policies and technical controls would strengthen the posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and continue optimizing mobile responsiveness to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Oxygen Builder, which allows for flexible and responsive design. Integration of Yoast SEO ensures good search engine optimization practices. The use of Fluent Forms indicates structured data collection capabilities. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Force24 provide insights into user behavior and marketing effectiveness. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a reputable UK hosting provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in loading times and accessibility. The technical stack is current with no deprecated libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and improve overall site 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.
