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

BRND WGN is a Malta-based brand-led creative agency specializing in strategy, design, web, and social media services. Positioned as a leading agency in Malta, it targets entrepreneurs and brands seeking to enhance their brand experiences. The website showcases a professional portfolio of projects and client logos, reflecting a strong market presence and consistent branding. The company emphasizes meaningful brand creation and supports entrepreneurs in their growth journey. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Flickity, and GSAP for animations. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Cookiebot for consent management, and implements reCAPTCHA for bot protection. CSRF protection cookies are present, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and could be improved.

The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and continuous monitoring of third-party scripts.

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

2 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

BRND WGN operates as a creative agency focusing on brand strategy, design, web development, and social media marketing. Its business model revolves around providing comprehensive branding solutions to entrepreneurs and established brands. The agency has a medium-sized footprint with a strong client base including notable Maltese brands. Revenue streams likely include project-based fees and retainer services. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem with social media platforms and advertising networks. Growth indicators include ISO certification and a professional podcast presence. The agency's market positioning as a leading brand-led creative agency in Malta suggests competitive advantages in local expertise and creative innovation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of industry-standard consent management via Cookiebot. The presence of reCAPTCHA and CSRF protection cookies indicates attention to common web security threats. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a compliance gap that could be exploited. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which may limit transparency. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance trust signals by showcasing certifications, client testimonials, and security compliance badges.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Webflow CMS, enabling rapid content management and deployment. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Flickity for carousels, and GSAP for animations, providing a rich interactive experience. Google Tag Manager and Analytics are integrated for data-driven insights, while Cookiebot manages GDPR-compliant consent. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable digital presence.
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.
