Their services include custom and prebuilt websites, investor marketing campaigns, and ongoing support to ensure compliance and effectiveness. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting public companies and investor relations professionals primarily in the energy and technology sectors. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, OwlCarousel2, and GSAP, and is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, indicating a reliable infrastructure. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for analytics and marketing tracking, with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism in place. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA for form protection but lacks visible security headers and a published security policy or incident response information.

Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and technically sound, with room for improvement in explicit security disclosures and policies.

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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 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

Blender Media operates in a niche market providing specialized digital services for investor relations, a critical function for public companies. Their competitive advantage lies in their focused expertise, extensive experience, and a strong portfolio of case studies across industries such as energy and mining. The business model revolves around service contracts for website development, marketing campaigns, and ongoing support. The target customers are public companies seeking to enhance investor engagement and compliance. The company demonstrates growth through continuous content updates and collaborations, indicating an active market presence. Partnerships with major public companies and a visible social media presence on LinkedIn and Instagram support their market positioning. The absence of phone contact suggests a preference for digital communication channels. Strategic observations include the potential to expand security and compliance transparency to further build trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented on forms to prevent automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which are important for transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. GDPR compliance is indicated through cookie consent and privacy policy. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file limits the ability for external parties to report security issues responsibly. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-supported technology stack including jQuery, OwlCarousel2 for carousels, GSAP for animations, and Google services for analytics and tag management. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built or static site approach. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing assets and leveraging caching. The site is well-structured with comprehensive content and resources, supporting business goals effectively.
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.
