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

BRND WGN is a brand-led creative agency based in Malta, established in 2006, specializing in creating engaging and meaningful brand experiences for clients. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting business clients seeking creative design and branding services. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and some security best practices observed; however, DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are critical for full GDPR compliance. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy of the business with a long domain age and consistent registration details. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy and security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing incident response and security policy information to improve trust and compliance.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Business profile

BRND WGN operates as a small-sized creative agency focused on branding and design services within the Maltese market. The company positions itself as a leading brand-led agency, targeting businesses and stakeholders seeking to enhance their brand engagement. The business model revolves around providing creative design solutions and brand experience development. The website content and metadata emphasize professionalism and market leadership in Malta. The company benefits from a stable domain registration dating back to 2006, indicating established operations. No evidence of parent companies or subsidiaries was found. The agency uses modern digital marketing and analytics tools, suggesting an awareness of digital growth strategies. However, absence of detailed business contact information and formal policies may limit transparency and customer trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The lack of published security policies and incident response contacts indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative agency but could be strengthened by implementing additional security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Typekit fonts for typography, Flickity for carousel functionality, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam and abuse. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS services, with domain registration via Amazon Registrar, Inc. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. SEO optimization is basic, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data present. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for a small creative agency but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more comprehensive privacy and compliance documentation.
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.
