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

PEN MASTER is a European-based manufacturer and supplier specializing in promotional pens and related stationery products. Their website presents a professional and consistent brand image, offering a variety of pen types including metal, plastic, gel, roller, multifunctional, and touch pens, as well as gift sets and refills. The site supports multiple languages, indicating a focus on a diverse European market. Technically, the website uses established but somewhat dated technologies such as jQuery 1.11.1 and Bootstrap, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security measures include a cookie consent banner with detailed user options, but the site lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, and uses an outdated jQuery version which may pose security risks. WHOIS data is unavailable due to EURid privacy policies, which is typical for .eu domains, limiting transparency but not necessarily indicating risk. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in security posture and privacy compliance.

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. 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

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 company operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on promotional writing instruments for business clients. Their business model centers on custom production and wholesale distribution, leveraging labeling technologies to offer tailored products. The multi-language website and product catalog suggest a European market focus. The absence of detailed company registration or contact information on the site limits direct business intelligence but the professional presentation and product range indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a niche market position. No partnerships or subsidiaries are explicitly identified. The company appears to maintain a moderate level of digital maturity with room for growth in transparency and security.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed in the data. The presence of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, though no privacy policy or incident response contacts are found. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.1) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no explicit security frameworks or certifications are mentioned. The lack of contact information for security incidents and absence of vulnerability disclosure policies indicate limited incident response readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but improvements are needed to enhance compliance and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery 1.11.1, Bootstrap, and SmartMenus for navigation. The HTML structure is valid with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external CDN resources like MaxCDN for legacy support scripts. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider and CMS are not identified. The site could benefit from modernization of its JavaScript libraries and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
