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

Multiply UK Ltd is a medium-sized marketing communications agency operating primarily in Edinburgh and London. They specialize in brand, digital, and shopper marketing, leveraging proprietary insight tools and creative strategies to deliver measurable impact for their clients. The company presents a professional and well-structured website with comprehensive service descriptions and a strong portfolio of clients, indicating a solid market position in the marketing sector. Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS and employs modern web technologies including jQuery, GSAP, Google Analytics, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance metrics. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though some security headers are not explicitly detected. The security posture is sound but could be improved by adding explicit security policies, incident response information, and publishing a security.txt file. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or domain registration issues, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and privacy compliant, with minor areas for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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. 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 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';…

  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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Multiply UK Ltd targets businesses seeking expert marketing communications services, focusing on brand, digital, and shopper marketing. Their business model revolves around delivering insight-driven creative campaigns and bespoke tools like Mind’s Eye for consumer insights. The company has a diverse client base including well-known brands, which enhances their competitive advantage. Certifications such as Cyber Essentials and ISO 9001 reinforce their credibility. The agency’s growth is supported by a strong digital presence and strategic partnerships, though domain registration transparency should be addressed to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The company should consider formalizing and publishing security policies and incident response contacts to improve readiness and transparency. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could benefit from more explicit communication and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and publicly available.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery and GSAP for animations. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking, complemented by CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site is mobile responsive and accessible with good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. No hosting provider details were identified. The technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
