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

Brokenaxe Business Solutions is a Malta-based agency specializing in media and technology innovation, offering a broad range of services including corporate identity, web and mobile app development, API integration, SEO/marketing, hosting, business process automation, and IT support. Established in 2005, the company has completed over 1000 projects across more than 14 countries, positioning itself as a medium-sized, experienced player in the technology sector. The website content is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets businesses seeking digital transformation and marketing solutions. Technically, the website employs a modern but somewhat dated technology stack including jQuery, fullPage.js, and RenUI CSS framework. It integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Matomo, and marketing tools like Calendly and Mailchimp. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. However, the lack of HTTPS in the provided HTML content and absence of security headers are notable technical and security shortcomings. From a security perspective, the site includes a comprehensive privacy policy compliant with GDPR and a cookie consent banner with opt-in functionality, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. Yet, there is no visible security policy, incident response information, or certifications. The absence of HTTPS and security headers reduces the overall security posture and exposes the site to potential risks. Overall, Brokenaxe.com presents a credible and professional business with solid digital presence and compliance in privacy. To improve security and trust, implementing HTTPS, security headers, and publishing formal security policies are recommended. These steps will enhance user trust, protect data, and align the site with modern security standards.

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

7 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

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

Brokenaxe operates as a specialized technology and media solutions provider with a clear focus on innovation and client empowerment. Its business model revolves around delivering tailored digital services including branding, web and mobile development, API integration, and marketing. The company targets a diverse client base across multiple industries and countries, leveraging its Malta location as a strategic European hub. The presence of over 1000 projects and 200+ clients indicates a stable revenue stream and market acceptance. The open-source engagement via GitHub suggests a commitment to transparency and community involvement. The company’s partnership ecosystem includes marketing and scheduling tools but no direct partner domains were identified. Growth indicators include continuous service expansion and a dedicated lab environment for R&D. Strategic observations highlight the need for enhanced security posture and formalized incident response to support business continuity and client trust.

Security posture

Brokenaxe demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with strengths in privacy compliance and user consent mechanisms. The comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner indicate good data protection awareness. However, the lack of HTTPS in the provided content is a critical vulnerability that undermines data confidentiality and integrity. The absence of security headers and incident response contacts further weakens the security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content, but the use of older JavaScript libraries may pose risks if not regularly updated. Compliance gaps include missing terms of service and security policy documentation. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of published contacts or procedures. Overall, the security culture is basic and would benefit from strategic improvements to align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly update all third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, fullPage.js, and RenUI CSS framework, indicating a moderately modern but somewhat dated technology stack. The CMS identified is Coreble, which is less common but appears stable. Performance is moderate with external CDN usage for libraries and fonts. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is well addressed with meta descriptions, keywords, and canonical links. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. No hosting provider information is explicitly found. The site integrates analytics and marketing tools effectively but lacks HTTPS, which is a significant technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure supports business needs but requires modernization and security enhancements to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
