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

Underground Printing is a well-established custom apparel and promotional products company founded in 2001, operating primarily in the US retail sector. The company offers a wide range of services including screen printing, embroidery, digital printing, and heat transfer, targeting businesses, teams, fundraisers, and individuals. Their market position is strong, supported by a large product catalog, multiple physical locations, and a professional e-commerce platform. The website reflects a consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience, catering effectively to their target audience. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as Vue.js and Vuetify, integrates with reputable third-party services like Stripe for payments, Klaviyo for marketing, and HelpScout for customer support. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices, although accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is a lack of publicly available security policies or incident response information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in privacy compliance, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and functionally sound but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit security disclosures to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. 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';…

  2. 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

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

Underground Printing operates in the custom apparel retail sector with a business model focused on e-commerce combined with physical store presence. Their competitive advantage lies in offering no minimum orders, fast turnaround times (2-day rush), and a broad product range including custom t-shirts, hoodies, hats, jackets, and promotional products. The company targets a diverse customer base including businesses, schools, non-profits, and sports teams, indicating a broad market reach. The presence of multiple well-known brand partnerships and customer testimonials enhances credibility. Marketing efforts are supported by advanced tools like Klaviyo and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The company’s long domain age and consistent WHOIS data reinforce its established market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. The use of reputable third-party services for payments and analytics reduces risk exposure. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent compliance and transparency gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could lead to regulatory scrutiny under GDPR or similar frameworks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in security communication and governance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Add publicly accessible incident response and security contact information to demonstrate preparedness and build trust.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) with Vuetify for UI components, indicating a contemporary and maintainable front-end architecture. Integration with Stripe ensures secure payment processing, while Klaviyo and HelpScout support marketing automation and customer service respectively. Hosting on AWS provides scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and responsive design for mobile users. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the absence of a common CMS suggests a custom or proprietary solution, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce operational risks.
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.
