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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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 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';…
  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Add-on

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Blooberry Creative operates in the competitive creative agency market within the UK, focusing on small to medium-sized businesses. Their service portfolio includes web design, branding, campaigns, and print communications, supported by content creation and video animation capabilities. The company leverages digital marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager to monitor performance. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's founding date, indicating a legitimate and consistent business presence. The agency maintains active social media profiles on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, enhancing its market visibility and client engagement. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The contact form includes anti-spam measures such as a honeypot field and requires GDPR consent for data submission. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a potential area for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosures, incident response policies, or security certifications are published, which could improve transparency and trust. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may pose compliance risks under EU regulations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small agency but could benefit from adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Publish a security or incident response policy page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Consider appointing or publicly naming a Data Protection Officer to strengthen data protection governance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing popular plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms and Breeze for caching and minification. JavaScript libraries like jQuery, Slick Slider, and Isotope enhance interactivity and layout. Google Fonts are used for typography, and Google Analytics and Tag Manager provide analytics capabilities. The site loads multiple minified CSS and JS files, indicating optimization efforts. Mobile responsiveness is good, with viewport meta tags and adaptive images. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and accessibility features. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security header implementation is lacking.
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.
