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

Pan Publicity is a well-established UK-based full-service marketing agency specializing in integrated marketing and communications with over 40 years of experience. The company targets businesses seeking creative and results-driven marketing campaigns. The website reflects a professional brand image with consistent branding and good content quality. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging modern web fonts and jQuery, hosted by Hosting Concepts B.V. The site performs moderately well with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and longevity of the business.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

Pan Publicity operates in the media sector as a marketing agency with a service-based business model. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence and integrated marketing expertise. The company likely generates revenue through client marketing campaigns and communications services. The target customers are businesses requiring marketing solutions. The website shows no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company maintains a social media presence on Twitter, enhancing its outreach. Growth indicators include a professional website and consistent branding. Strategic observations suggest the company could improve compliance and security transparency to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Include incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to support security communications.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible framework for website design. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for enhanced UI/UX. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V., a European hosting provider. The site loads CSS and JS resources efficiently, but performance is moderate, possibly due to the heavy Divi theme and multiple font weights loaded. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements present. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data, aiding search engine visibility. Technical risks include potential outdated plugins and missing security headers.
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.
