Affinity for Design is a small, full-service marketing agency specializing in branding, web design, and digital marketing services. Founded in 2010 and legally operating as Computer Philes LLC, the company serves clients primarily in Tucson, AZ and Upstate South Carolina, with a national reach. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting businesses seeking expert marketing solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Astra theme, hosted with GoDaddy and DNS managed via Cloudflare, providing a modern and moderately performant infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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 trusted marketing partner with a focus on creative and strategic marketing services. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting small to medium businesses across multiple US regions. The presence of multiple social media channels and structured data indicates a mature digital marketing approach. The legal entity and domain registration details are consistent, supporting legitimacy. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. The agency's competitive advantage lies in combining creative expertise with strategic thinking to deliver impactful advertising solutions.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and domain status protections to safeguard against unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or security policy pages are present, indicating limited transparency on security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is insufficient, lacking GDPR indicators and cookie consent mechanisms. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enable DNSSEC, implement security headers, and improve privacy compliance.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
Add an incident response or security policy page to increase transparency and preparedness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability risks.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

SEO is enhanced by Rank Math PRO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility features are basic but present. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNSSEC implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
