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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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

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

ActiveMedia operates in the technology sector as a digital design agency, targeting businesses and brands needing web and UX/UI design, content, and digital signage. Its long operational history and consistent branding suggest a stable market position. The business model focuses on service delivery through creative digital solutions, leveraging partnerships and social media presence to enhance reach. The use of multilingual tools and marketing automation indicates a strategy for growth and customer engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent small-sized enterprise. The company’s digital footprint and structured data enhance discoverability and trust among potential clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response information, which are important for transparency and trust. The use of third-party scripts like Sendinblue and Hotjar introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. GDPR compliance is indicated by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found in the content. The security score is good but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add an incident response contact email (e.g., security@ or abuse@) for reporting issues.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Weglot for translations, Sendinblue for marketing automation, and Hotjar for analytics. SEO is well implemented using Rank Math plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is comprehensive, improving search engine visibility. Performance is moderate with caching and minified CSS but could be optimized further. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional digital agency website with room for performance and accessibility improvements.
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.
