High risk. 10 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 3 other checks.

Security score

48/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Advertising Engineers is a small Czech advertising agency based in Zlín, specializing in honest and straightforward advertising services. Their website reflects a professional but modest digital presence built on WordPress, with a focus on regional identity and client trust. The technical infrastructure uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics, with SEO optimized by Yoast. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. No direct contact information or detailed security policies are published, which limits transparency. Overall, the site is functional and compliant with GDPR cookie requirements but could improve in security and contact accessibility.

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

10 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 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

    • 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

The company positions itself as a niche advertising agency with a strong regional identity tied to Zlín and the legacy of Tomáš Baťa. Their business model centers on providing honest, no-nonsense advertising services, targeting local and regional businesses. The presence of partner domains suggests a small network of related agencies or sister sites. The lack of detailed contact info or certifications indicates a smaller scale operation. Their marketing tools and analytics usage show a moderate digital maturity. Growth potential may depend on expanding digital presence and improving transparency.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit security or incident response policies suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update WordPress and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.0.11 using standard front-end libraries like Bootstrap and jQuery. SEO is managed with Yoast plugin, and cookie compliance is handled by Complianz GDPR plugin. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and design quality. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors detected. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical stack is standard for a small agency website with opportunities for modernization and security 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.
