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

Accio Communication by Jérôme Duchêne is a small digital communication and marketing agency based in Wallonia, Belgium, founded in 2022. The company offers services including website creation (both showcase and e-commerce), visual identity, marketing materials, and photo/video production. Their target audience consists primarily of local businesses seeking to improve their online presence and marketing effectiveness. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and contact information, reflecting a solid market position as a regional service provider. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern front-end libraries such as Swiper.js and AOS for animations. It uses Typekit fonts and is hosted by OVH, a reputable hosting provider. The site implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent management via the Complianz plugin, indicating a good level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and manages cookie consent properly. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formal policies. The overall risk assessment is low, with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, enhancing accessibility, and publishing a security policy or incident response plan to improve trust and compliance further.

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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Accio Communication operates as a small, specialized agency focusing on digital communication and marketing services in the Wallonia region of Belgium. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive suite of services from website creation to visual identity and marketing support, tailored for local businesses. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through project-based engagements. The company shows growth potential given its recent founding and professional online presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified, indicating a focused, independent operation. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and facilitate client engagement through contact forms and direct contact details.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed in compliance with GDPR. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. There is no public incident response or security policy documentation, which could be a compliance gap under frameworks like NIS2. The site uses up-to-date WordPress and plugins (as inferred from version numbers), reducing vulnerability risks. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Consider adding social media presence and trust signals such as client testimonials or certifications to improve business credibility.

Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable European provider. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified CSS assets observed, but no explicit performance optimization tools detected.

SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation.
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.
