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

Akabo Media is a UK-based small business specializing in publishing and events within the logistics, supply chain, and intelligent transportation sectors. The company provides decision makers with informed intelligence and hosts exhibitions, conferences, and related media services. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Google Analytics. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the exact queried domain 'www.akabomedia.co.uk' is unavailable due to domain naming rules, but the active website and consistent content suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a moderate risk profile with recommendations to enhance privacy compliance and security best 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.

Priority findings

9 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Akabo Media operates in a niche market providing specialized publishing and event services targeting logistics and transportation professionals. Their business model revolves around content delivery and event management, supported by partner exhibitions and conferences. The company maintains a focused brand with consistent messaging and a clear target audience of industry decision makers. The presence of partner domains linked from the site indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth potential is tied to the logistics and intelligent transport sectors, which are evolving with technology and automation trends. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies may limit trust and compliance in certain markets.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the HTML content. The site lacks a published security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms or GDPR statements. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard headers, formal policies, and clear contact channels for security matters.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Neve theme and Elementor page builder, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery UI and Moment.js, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified CSS/JS assets observed. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement advanced security headers to reduce risk.
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.
