Printed.com is a UK-based digital printing service provider offering a wide range of products including business cards, flyers, wedding stationery, banners, and art prints. The company targets both businesses and individual customers seeking high-quality, fast turnaround printing solutions. The website demonstrates a mature e-commerce platform with comprehensive product categories and user-friendly navigation. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, FullStory, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, indicating a sophisticated digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and policies could be improved.

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. 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. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

Printed.com operates in the retail printing sector with a focus on digital and bespoke printing services. Its business model is e-commerce driven, providing customers with an online ordering experience for a broad product range. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a UK market focus. The website content and product offerings suggest a well-established market position with competitive advantages in product variety and delivery speed. The use of multiple marketing and analytics platforms indicates active customer engagement and data-driven marketing strategies. No direct parent or subsidiary relationships were identified from the data. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals such as privacy policies and cookie consent, enhancing customer confidence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. Multiple security-related scripts and analytics tools are used, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly found in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement. No security policy or incident response contact information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact overall security trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly configure security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to strengthen domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js and integrates a variety of third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, FullStory, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site uses a custom or proprietary CMS as no common CMS was detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. The site uses HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. The technical infrastructure supports a robust e-commerce platform with extensive product offerings and user engagement capabilities. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to further enhance the technical maturity.
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.
