Risk levelMedium

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

Signtech is a medium-sized signage manufacturer based in the Channel Islands, offering a comprehensive range of signage and branding products and services. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, targeting businesses and organizations in the region. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with modern plugins and technologies, supporting a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism but missing privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data support the legitimacy of the business. Strategic improvements in privacy documentation and security headers would enhance trust and 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

4 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.

    • 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

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

Signtech holds a strong regional market position as a signage manufacturer with a diverse product portfolio including vehicle graphics, safety signs, print, and digital displays. Their business model focuses on B2B services with a local customer base in Jersey and the Channel Islands. The website indicates active marketing and customer engagement through contact forms and media content. Payment processing is securely outsourced to CityPay, indicating a partnership ecosystem. The absence of explicit company registration or VAT details on the site suggests an area for transparency improvement. The company leverages modern web technologies and analytics tools to support growth and customer insights.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect user interactions and data submissions. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. The use of up-to-date WordPress plugins and themes is implied but should be regularly audited to prevent vulnerabilities. The absence of exposed sensitive data is positive, but adding explicit security policies and contact channels for security incidents would strengthen the security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance transparency and customer support.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate security risks and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, Forminator, and Essential Grid. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality and styling. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing insights. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses a cookie consent banner from Cookiescan. Performance is moderate with some heavy media content but overall good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO optimizations.
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.
