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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the media sector, focusing on branding and web design services for businesses seeking to enhance their digital presence. Their business model is service-based, relying on client projects and marketing engagements. The presence of a client portal suggests a structured client management approach. The agency targets businesses and organizations looking for professional branding and marketing solutions, positioning itself as a regional expert in Nashville. The website content and case studies indicate a competitive advantage in delivering tailored design solutions. The company appears to be growing steadily since its founding in 2020, with active social media engagement on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited status flags. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduce the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate user tracking, which is not fully complemented by privacy or cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small agency but could benefit from enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, and privacy compliance.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance browser security.
Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using the Showit platform, which provides a drag-and-drop website builder optimized for creatives and agencies. It uses jQuery 3.5.1 and includes Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and uses HTTPS throughout. Performance is moderate, with images and assets optimized for desktop and mobile. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. However, there is no evidence of advanced accessibility features or ARIA roles. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. The site is hosted with Squarespace Domains as registrar and uses Google Cloud DNS name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could be improved with additional security and privacy enhancements.
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.
