Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.anotherdesignagency.co.uk presents itself as an informational resource focused on the consequences and personal experiences related to resident tax delinquency in Japan. It provides narrative content and advice aimed at individuals struggling with unpaid resident taxes. However, the domain name suggests a design agency and is flagged as invalid by the UK domain registry, indicating a mismatch between domain registration and website content. Technically, the site is a simple static HTML page with basic CSS and JavaScript, lacking modern frameworks or CMS. There is no evidence of HTTPS or security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies are present. Contact information and social media links are absent, reducing business credibility and trust. The site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms but scores low on security posture and privacy compliance.

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

7 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 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

    • 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 website targets a niche audience of Japanese residents concerned about resident tax delinquency, offering personal testimonials and advice. The business model appears to be purely informational without commercial services or monetization evident. The lack of clear business identity, contact details, or certifications limits its market position and credibility. The domain name and WHOIS data inconsistencies raise concerns about legitimacy and operational transparency. No partnerships or related domains are identified. Overall, the site functions as a small-scale informational resource with limited business intelligence indicators.

Security posture

Security maturity is low due to absence of HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies. No forms or data collection mechanisms reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. The invalid domain registration and lack of WHOIS data are significant red flags. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not demonstrate compliance with GDPR or other data protection frameworks. Recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing contact information for security incidents to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure user connections.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Review and correct domain registration issues to align domain name with website content and ensure legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript without any detected CMS or frameworks. The site is mobile responsive at a basic level but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate with no clear optimization indicators. The JavaScript includes obfuscated script URLs which may be custom analytics or tracking but no known third-party services are identified. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available. The domain registration is invalid per Nominet UK rules, which is a critical technical and legitimacy concern. Overall, the technical infrastructure is minimal and could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
