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

BRAINZ STUDIOS is a medium-sized independent group of creative studios based in Prague, Czech Republic, founded in 2018. They offer a broad range of new media services including digital innovation, strategic communication, VR and AR immersive experiences, and brand building. The company operates multiple specialized studios and incubates startups and platforms, positioning itself as a versatile player in the creative media industry with a strong presence in various sectors such as automotive, financial services, pharma, entertainment, and more. Their market position is reinforced by multiple awards and media features, indicating a reputable and professional organization. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Vue.js, GSAP animations, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics and Finsweet, demonstrating awareness of privacy compliance requirements. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish privacy policies or terms of service, which are important for compliance and trust. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional policies and headers. The overall risk assessment is low, with the main recommendations focusing on enhancing privacy compliance, publishing security policies, and adding security headers. The website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, with no adult or questionable content detected.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. 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)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

BRAINZ STUDIOS operates as a creative services group with a diversified portfolio including digital services, AR/VR, strategic communication, and startup incubation. Their competitive advantage lies in their multi-studio structure, industry-spanning expertise, and innovation-driven approach. Revenue streams likely include client projects, digital product development, and startup platform monetization. Target customers are businesses across various sectors seeking creative and digital media solutions. Growth indicators include multiple awards, media features, and active startup development. The partnership ecosystem includes sister studios and platforms under the Brainz umbrella, enhancing cross-service capabilities and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. The use of cookie consent tools indicates GDPR awareness. However, the absence of a privacy policy, terms of service, and security headers represents compliance gaps and potential risk areas. There is no visible incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits readiness for security incidents. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced transparency to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish an incident response contact channel and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and robust technical stack including Webflow CMS, Vue.js for reactive components, GSAP for animations, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is via Webflow's cloud infrastructure with CDN support, ensuring fast loading and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and professional design. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business well with scalability and user experience in mind.
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.
