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. 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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

  5. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

Orchard Press operates in the print and design sector serving local businesses and individuals. Their market positioning is that of a local service provider with complementary web design partnership, enabling a broader service offering. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on print, design, and web development. Revenue streams likely come from printing jobs, design services, and web development projects. The company targets small to medium businesses and individuals in the Olney area and surrounding regions. The partnership with Prickly Pear Web Design indicates a strategic alliance to enhance digital offerings. Customer testimonials and a portfolio link enhance credibility and trust. The company has maintained a consistent online presence since 2004, indicating stability and experience.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communication and uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap especially under GDPR. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The site does not appear to expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the provided data. Overall, the security posture is basic but functional, with recommendations to enhance headers and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with 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 vulnerabilities.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 7.0 platform using the Elementor 4.1.4 page builder, leveraging jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated for form security. The site uses external CSS and JS assets loaded from the same domain, indicating self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels but could be improved. Hosting appears to be via Easily Limited (easily.co.uk) as the registrar, though no direct hosting provider info is found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business site but could benefit from performance and SEO enhancements.
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.
