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

BRÄND.FRESH is a small, specialized graphic and web agency located in Lana, South Tyrol, Italy. Founded in 2019, the company offers a broad range of creative and technical services including logo design, print design, web design, web development, CMS solutions, SEO, and hosting. The website is professionally designed, bilingual (German and Italian), and targets local businesses and individuals seeking tailored digital and print solutions. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and provides clear contact information and portfolio examples to build trust. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI components, integrates Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking, and employs Klaro for GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The site is served over HTTPS with DNSSEC enabled, indicating a strong commitment to secure domain and transport layers. The contact form includes spam protection and privacy acceptance, reflecting attention to data protection practices. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business profile, enhancing legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers and formal policies. The overall risk is low with no signs of malicious activity or content safety concerns. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and improving accessibility features to further strengthen compliance and user trust.

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

6 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 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';…

  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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 0 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

BRÄND.FRESH operates as a local creative agency focusing on the South Tyrol region, leveraging a service-based business model centered on customized graphic and web solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in combining creativity with technical competence, offering end-to-end services from branding to web hosting. The company targets SMEs and individual entrepreneurs needing professional digital presence and marketing support. The portfolio showcases diverse projects, indicating a healthy client base and growth potential. The bilingual website and social media presence suggest efforts to broaden market reach. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating independent operation. The absence of certifications or formal partnerships suggests a boutique agency profile rather than a large corporate entity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, ensuring secure communications and domain integrity. The use of a cookie consent manager aligns with GDPR requirements, and the contact form includes anti-spam measures and privacy acceptance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The site does not provide explicit channels for reporting security incidents, which could hinder timely response. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for a small agency but would benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility compliance to broaden user inclusivity and meet legal standards.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities from external sources.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and client agreements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for interactive elements. It uses Fresh.CMS as its content management system, which appears custom or niche. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics. Klaro is used for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with meta viewport tags and mobile web app capabilities. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and image optimization. The technical stack is modern but could be enhanced with additional security headers and accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
