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

Ronset Printers Ltd is a well-established family-run digital printing company based in Blackburn, UK, with over 50 years of experience. They specialize in a wide range of printing services including business cards, leaflets, posters, brochures, banners, stickers, large format printing, and signage. The company targets local businesses and organizations, offering high-quality print solutions with fast turnaround and excellent customer service. Their market position is that of a trusted local printing specialist with a strong reputation supported by positive Google reviews. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS and employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Sendinblue for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, though some security headers are missing and could be improved. From a security and compliance perspective, the site implements cookie consent mechanisms but lacks an explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages on the homepage. No incident response or security policy information is found. WHOIS data lookup failed due to querying the subdomain rather than the registered domain, but this is a technical issue rather than a trust concern. Overall, the site demonstrates a good security baseline with room for improvement in policy transparency and security headers. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site appearing legitimate and professionally maintained. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and maintaining up-to-date software to mitigate vulnerabilities.

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. 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

    • 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

  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

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

Ronset operates in the printing services sector, focusing on B2B customers in Blackburn and surrounding Lancashire areas. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing local presence, family-run business ethos, and comprehensive printing offerings. Revenue streams are primarily from digital print orders including business essentials and large format products. The company leverages online ordering and digital marketing tools to reach customers. Growth indicators include positive customer reviews and a broad product catalog. Partnerships with marketing and analytics providers like Sendinblue and Google enhance their digital presence. The business model is straightforward, focusing on quality, speed, and customer service to maintain market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms. Cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies, missing security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.), and lack of incident response contact details highlight compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools introduces moderate tracking but is balanced by consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Add incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0 with a mix of modern and legacy technologies including jQuery 2.2.4, Google Tag Manager, and various marketing plugins. Performance is moderate with caching and lazy loading implemented via WP Rocket. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical debt is minimal but updating jQuery to a more recent version could improve security and performance. The use of multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing is well integrated but should be monitored for privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but HTTPS and SSL are properly configured. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
