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

Akabo Media is a UK-based small business specializing in publishing and event organization focused on logistics, supply chain, and intelligent transportation systems. The company provides decision makers in these sectors with informed intelligence, analysis, and industry events to maintain competitive advantage. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies and analytics tools, supporting good performance and SEO optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks advanced security headers and formal policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, represents compliance and trust gaps. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain registration errors, which impacts domain legitimacy assessment. Overall, the website is functional and business-focused but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security 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

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 for the transportation and logistics sectors. Their business model revolves around content creation, industry insights, and hosting conferences and exhibitions. The company targets decision makers and professionals in supply chain and transport industries. The website links to partner event sites and industry groups, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active event promotion and updated content. However, the lack of detailed business registration and contact information online limits external verification. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand and professional presence, supporting moderate market positioning within its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for compliance and trust. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the security posture could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Publish clear contact information and a security policy page to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact channels to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated software.

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 employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, jQuery UI, and Moment.js, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for traffic analysis. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. Performance is moderate, with caching and minified CSS/JS assets observed. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical debt appears low, but the site would benefit from enhanced security configurations and formal compliance documentation.
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.
