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

Loxleys is a specialist greeting card manufacturer based in the United Kingdom, offering litho and digital printing services. The company emphasizes its long history of over 160 years, providing professional start-to-end printing and packing services tailored to publishers and customers. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and providing a visually consistent and professional user experience. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information on the homepage limits transparency and user trust. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable or invalid, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy but does not necessarily reflect on the business authenticity given the professional website content and social media presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security disclosures.

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

The company operates in the manufacturing sector, specifically in greeting card printing and packaging services. Its target audience includes new and established publishers requiring high-quality print services. The business model focuses on specialized manufacturing with a niche market position supported by a long operational history. The website's digital presence is modest but professional, with social media integration on Instagram and LinkedIn. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. The lack of detailed business registration information and contact details online suggests a small-sized enterprise with limited digital footprint beyond the core website and social media.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating basic compliance with security and privacy norms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact information is provided, which limits the ability to report or respond to security issues effectively. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust but may be due to domain aliasing or subdomain usage. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company email and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  3. Configure and deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Investigate and resolve domain WHOIS registration issues to improve domain legitimacy and trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts. The site loads moderate external resources primarily from Squarespace CDN and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies are detected. The site lacks advanced analytics or marketing tools based on the provided data. Technical debt appears low due to the use of a managed platform, but the absence of security headers and privacy disclosures indicates areas for modernization and compliance improvement.
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.
