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

Key2 Group is a UK-based signage manufacturer located near Portsmouth, specializing in plastic fabrication, retail display, signage, printing, and bespoke screens. The company offers end-to-end services from industrial design to manufacturing and installation, targeting businesses requiring signage and printing solutions. Their market position is that of a regional specialist with in-house production capabilities, serving a business clientele primarily in the manufacturing and retail sectors. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Microsoft Clarity and Google Tag Manager, hosted on Squarespace's platform. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, HSTS enabled, and use of reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages represents a compliance gap. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy despite the active and professional website presence. Overall, the site is safe, business-focused, and trustworthy but would benefit from improved compliance documentation and domain registration transparency.

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. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Key2 Group operates in the manufacturing and retail signage industry, providing bespoke fabrication and printing services. Their business model is B2B, focusing on delivering customized signage solutions with a strong emphasis on quality and in-house production. The company leverages multiple social media platforms for marketing and customer engagement. The website content and imagery reinforce their expertise and regional presence. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data provided. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that should be investigated to ensure domain ownership legitimacy. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with a focused service offering and a clear target market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse on forms. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages limits full compliance with GDPR and other data protection laws. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain trustworthiness and should be addressed. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with better compliance documentation and incident response transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Add incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure legitimacy and reduce risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Google reCAPTCHA, Microsoft Clarity analytics, and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace-hosted site. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is stable and well-supported, minimizing technical debt. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring secure communications. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and functional online presence.
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.
