The company has a strong market position locally and is part of the larger BHW Print Group, enhancing its service capabilities and reach.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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';…

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 Mannin Group operates in the media sector with a focus on print and advertising services. Its business model centers on providing comprehensive multimedia solutions to local businesses and organizations. The partnership with Bridson & Horrox and inclusion in the BHW Print Group network strengthens its market position and service offerings. The company targets business clients in the Isle of Man and possibly surrounding regions. The website's linkage to multiple partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem of print and promotional service providers. The company appears to be small in size but with a solid local presence and a history of approximately 30 years. Revenue streams likely derive from printing, advertising, signage, and digital media services. The lack of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site suggests a focus on direct client relationships rather than e-commerce or large-scale public transactions.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption, ensuring secure data transmission. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, which may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. No forms or input fields are present on the homepage, reducing immediate risk of injection attacks, but the overall security culture and readiness appear basic. The site uses popular and regularly updated plugins like Elementor and Yoast SEO, but no explicit vulnerability management or disclosure mechanisms are evident. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent or privacy policy, which could expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure process to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. The use of WP Rocket suggests performance optimization efforts. The site loads jQuery and other standard JavaScript libraries with deferred loading to improve page speed. CSS and JS assets are minified and cached, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements and viewport meta tags. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA and skip links present but no advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security hardening.
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.
