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

5 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

NBM operates primarily in the technology sector focusing on print and document management solutions. Their business model is B2B, targeting organizations seeking to optimize print costs and productivity. The company leverages strategic partnerships, notably with Xerox, to enhance its market position. The website showcases a strong brand presence, client testimonials, and case studies, indicating a focus on trust and long-term client relationships. The inclusion of multiple office locations and a dedicated sales team suggests a medium-sized enterprise with regional reach. Marketing and analytics tools like HubSpot and Google Analytics are used to support customer engagement and lead generation. The company demonstrates a clear understanding of its target audience and competitive advantages in managed print services.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via a comprehensive OneTrust implementation, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility if applicable to demonstrate GDPR compliance.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize website performance and accessibility to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms, HubSpot integration, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics. Performance optimization is supported by WP Rocket caching and lazy loading techniques. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA attributes. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The technical implementation is robust, supporting a fast and user-friendly experience. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and further harden the site against potential threats.
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.
