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

Borealis is a Croatia-based digital agency specializing in the creation of custom digital products including complex web applications, e-commerce platforms, multimedia applications, and promotional games. The company emphasizes long-term client relationships and serves a global clientele with a comprehensive service offering from concept through post-launch support. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on WordPress, with integration of Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. While the site is well-designed and content-rich, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a notable compliance gap. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and form protection, but could be improved by adding security headers and formal incident response disclosures. Overall, Borealis presents as a credible and established digital agency with a solid market position and trustworthy online presence.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

Borealis operates in the technology sector, focusing on digital product development for a diverse range of clients, including well-known brands. Their business model is service-oriented, relying on custom software development and long-term client engagements. The presence of reputable client logos and multi-year projects indicates strong market positioning and client trust. The company targets businesses needing complex web and multimedia solutions, with a medium-sized operational scale. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, but lacks visible direct contact emails or phone numbers on the public site, relying instead on contact forms and social media outreach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also exposes compliance risks under GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with formal policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@borealis.agency).
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with jQuery and Google services integrated for analytics and security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with lazy loading images and optimized assets. However, no advanced frameworks or hosting provider details are evident. The technical stack is modern but basic, suitable for a digital agency portfolio site. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a centralized approach to marketing and tracking.
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.
