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. 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';…

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

Brunswick Group operates in the professional advisory sector, focusing on strategic communications for high-profile clients. Its market positioning as a global leader in crisis and financial communications suggests a strong competitive advantage in handling sensitive and complex issues. The business model revolves around consultancy and advisory services, targeting large enterprises and organizations requiring expert guidance in high-pressure situations. The website's content and structured data indicate a focus on transparency and client engagement, supported by active social media channels on LinkedIn and Twitter. The company likely generates revenue through retainer and project-based consulting fees. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site, and no subsidiary or parent company information is provided. Growth indicators include a well-maintained digital presence and adherence to privacy regulations, which are critical in the advisory industry.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security present. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The inclusion of third-party scripts like New Relic and Google Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests an area for improvement in proactive security communication. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and governance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures to align with privacy best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie management. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred JavaScript to optimize page load times. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as proper meta viewport tags and ARIA roles implied by good accessibility scores. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for organization and contact information. The technical infrastructure is robust, but hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks or enhancing server-side performance optimizations.
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.
