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

Rival Colour Ltd is a well-established printing company based in Greenwich, London, with over 20 years of experience providing high-quality digital and litho printing, retouching, scanning, and related services. The company serves a diverse clientele including notable entities such as the Glastonbury Festival and Bauer Media, positioning itself as a trusted local leader in the printing industry. Their website reflects a professional business model focused on delivering bespoke printing solutions to individuals and businesses across London and the UK. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Bootstrap frameworks, incorporating modern tools such as Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. While the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and CAPTCHA protections but could be improved by adding security headers and incident response information. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

7 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 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 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

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

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

Rival Colour operates in the printing and graphic design sector, targeting both individual and business customers primarily in London and the UK. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing presence, high-quality service, and notable client base. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on a broad range of printing services from digital to large format printing. The company maintains a strong local presence with a medium-sized team and a reputation for reliability and quality. Their partnership ecosystem includes clients from media, festivals, and publishing sectors. The website content and testimonials reinforce their market position and customer satisfaction. Growth indicators include a diversified service portfolio and active engagement through blogs and case studies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA implemented on contact forms to prevent spam. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. There is no published security policy or incident response plan visible on the site, which could impact preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of explicit consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security culture appears informal with room for improvement in transparency and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan with clear contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security awareness training for staff to strengthen security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates several JavaScript libraries including Glide.js for sliders and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site uses Contact Form 7 for form handling with Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. Hosting is provided by Heart Internet as indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with some optimization evident such as lazy loading and responsive images. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO Premium plugin with structured data (JSON-LD) implemented for rich snippets. Technical risks include the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible at a basic level but could benefit from further improvements in accessibility and performance tuning.
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.
