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

Bandicoot Marketing is a small business-focused web design and development company established in 2013. The company offers services including web design, web and mobile app development, website care, and resources tailored for small business owners. Their market position is that of a niche service provider specializing in digital solutions for small businesses. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and LeadConnectorHQ chat widget. The technical infrastructure is solid with good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bandicoot Marketing targets small business owners seeking professional web design and digital marketing services. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering customized web solutions and ongoing website care. The company leverages WordPress and Elementor to provide flexible and scalable websites. Integration with marketing tools and analytics indicates a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The domain age and registration details support a stable business presence. However, the lack of explicit privacy and security policies may limit trust with privacy-conscious clients. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and content quality, positioning itself as a reliable small business web service provider.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare DNS, which enhances security and performance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity for DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like LeadConnectorHQ and Google Analytics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for security risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional security controls and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and Ultimate Elementor Addons, indicating a modern and flexible CMS platform. It uses WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and tracking. The site uses a chat widget from LeadConnectorHQ for customer engagement. The domain is registered with GoDaddy and uses Cloudflare for DNS, which is a common and reliable setup. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization via Rank Math PRO. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site could benefit from further technical enhancements such as improved security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence with room for security and privacy 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.
