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

Totality GCS Limited is a well-established graphic design and print production studio based in Leeds, UK, with over 30 years of international experience working with major global brands. The company specializes in packaging design, corporate identity, internet and multimedia design, and expert design consultancy. Their market position is strong within the retail and branding sectors, supported by a portfolio featuring notable clients such as Unilever, Nandos, BP, and Boots. The business model focuses on providing creative design services and packaging mock-ups, supported by a cloud-based project management system to enhance client collaboration. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with common plugins such as Yoast SEO, Ninja Forms, and a cookie consent management tool, indicating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. The site includes embedded multimedia content, social media integration, and uses modern web technologies like jQuery and Google Maps API. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, with good SEO practices implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism, including detailed cookie categorization and user consent options. However, there is a lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or scripts.

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. 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 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      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

Totality GCS operates in the competitive graphic design and packaging sector, targeting brand owners and marketers who require high-quality design and print production services. Their competitive advantage lies in their extensive experience, high-profile client base, and ability to deliver innovative packaging solutions and prototypes. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through design consultancy and production services. The company demonstrates growth potential through its use of cloud-based project management and digital marketing tools. Partnerships with major brands and use of marketing automation platforms like ActiveCampaign indicate a mature marketing ecosystem. The company maintains a consistent brand image and leverages client logos as trust signals, enhancing market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of Cloudflare bot management cookies adds an additional layer of protection against automated threats. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps in the security framework. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and forms appear to be standard with no visible security flaws. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business size but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to strengthen legal compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.0.3 with a combination of plugins for SEO, forms, and cookie consent management. It uses jQuery 1.12.4 and integrates external services such as Google Maps API, Vimeo for video content, and ActiveCampaign for marketing automation and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and CDN usage for some assets. The technical stack is standard for small to medium-sized businesses, with opportunities to modernize JavaScript libraries and optimize loading times further. No critical technical debt or risks were identified in the current implementation.
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.
