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

Litho Supplies Ltd. is a UK-based market-leading distributor specializing in print consumables, equipment, and services for the printing industry. As part of the Agfa group, it operates multiple distribution centers across the UK, offering next day delivery and a broad product range including litho, offset, digital presses, flexographic, and wide format printing supplies. The website reflects a professional B2B business model targeting printing industry professionals and companies. Technically, the website uses a legacy jQuery version alongside Bootstrap and Google Tag Manager, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and a VeriSign SSL certificate but lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries, which could pose risks. Privacy and cookie policies are present but basic, with no explicit GDPR compliance statements or incident response information. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance compliance and resilience.

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

4 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Litho Supplies holds a strong market position as a distributor in the UK printing sector, leveraging its affiliation with Agfa to offer a comprehensive product portfolio and services. Its business model focuses on B2B sales, trade accounts, and maintenance packages, targeting print shops and related businesses. The company maintains a multi-channel presence including social media and mailing lists, supporting customer engagement. The website content and structure support clear navigation and product discovery, though some technical debt is evident in outdated libraries. No suspicious domains or partners were identified beyond core business links. The company appears stable with a medium-sized footprint in manufacturing and retail sectors.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid VeriSign SSL certificate, which is a strong baseline for secure communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and content injection. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.4.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited if not mitigated. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy policies exist but lack comprehensive GDPR compliance details. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet modern standards and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data protection practices.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Warp CMS with a front-end stack including Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and legacy jQuery 1.4.2. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by older JavaScript libraries and multiple external resources. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta keywords and descriptions. Accessibility features are limited but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. There is opportunity to modernize the tech stack, improve security configurations, and enhance SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
