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

Made By Classic is a UK-based bespoke packaging company specializing in end-to-end packaging solutions for leading global brands, including advent calendars, boxes, bags, and e-commerce packaging. The company positions itself as an experienced provider with over 30 years in the packaging industry, serving creative brands across multiple sectors. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting B2B clients seeking luxury and sustainable packaging solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as Gravity Forms, Google Analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, with good performance and accessibility standards. However, some advanced security headers are not explicitly detected, and there is no public security policy or incident response information. The security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA implemented on forms, but could be improved by adding security.txt and explicit security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Business credibility is high, supported by client references and certifications. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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

Made By Classic operates in the manufacturing and retail packaging sector, focusing on bespoke luxury packaging solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience and ability to deliver end-to-end services from design to distribution. The business model is B2B, targeting creative and luxury brands such as John Lewis, Liberty, and Selfridges. The company leverages partnerships and certifications to enhance market trust. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with strong SEO and a diverse product portfolio. The partnership ecosystem includes major retail brands, indicating a solid market position and reputation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Google APIs. It integrates Google Analytics and OneTrust for analytics and cookie consent respectively. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs and uses asynchronous script loading for performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and layouts. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image delivery and caching strategies. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries detected.
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.
