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

Ackama is a technology and design company focused on delivering impactful digital solutions primarily for government and energy sectors. The company emphasizes pragmatic, human-centered design and ongoing support through services like CodeCare. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding and clear messaging targeting organizations seeking digital transformation. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, though some security best practices like security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The WHOIS data is notably absent, raising questions about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-designed but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance transparency.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.ackama.com points to unregistered service d1kr66cf8xzuj0.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Ackama positions itself as a regional leader in purposeful technology solutions, serving government and energy clients. Their business model revolves around project-based digital product development combined with ongoing maintenance services. The company leverages partnerships and maintains active social media channels on LinkedIn and GitHub, indicating engagement with the tech community. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via contact forms. The company appears medium-sized, founded around 2019, with a focus on delivering accessible and innovative solutions. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual and should be clarified to strengthen business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The site uses third-party tracking scripts, including Google Tag Manager and Lfeeder, without visible cookie consent mechanisms, which may impact privacy compliance. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better headers, transparency, and compliance features.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Typekit for custom fonts. The site loads multiple JavaScript libraries asynchronously to improve performance. The design is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) implemented. However, no explicit hosting provider information is found. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and security headers. The site uses a custom theme and plugins for code highlighting and user experience enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
