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

Calm Digital Solutions Ltd. is a UK-based digital agency specializing in bespoke web design, software development, digital marketing, and branding services. The company targets businesses seeking high-end, UX-centric digital products and services, positioning itself as an experienced regional player with over 20 years in the industry. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and strong partner affiliations. Technically, the website employs modern tracking and marketing technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Klaviyo, and Lead Forensics. The site is mobile-optimized, well-structured, and SEO-friendly, providing a good user experience. However, some technical improvements such as implementing security headers and publishing a dedicated security policy could enhance the overall infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a good baseline security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Overall, Calm Digital demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration clarity. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen 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

6 findings 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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Calm Digital operates in the technology sector as a small-sized digital agency focused on bespoke digital solutions. Its market positioning leverages over two decades of experience, targeting businesses requiring tailored web and software development alongside digital marketing and branding. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including marketing platforms like Klaviyo and regional business organizations, enhancing its credibility and reach. The business model centers on service delivery with a focus on UX and innovation, supported by a professional online presence and clear contact channels. Growth indicators include diversified service offerings and active digital marketing efforts. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of a published security policy or incident response information indicate gaps in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the privacy policy and cookie banner. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve incident handling and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small digital agency but could be enhanced by adopting best practices and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices, data protection measures, and incident response procedures to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address, to improve readiness and communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Klaviyo for marketing automation, and Lead Forensics for visitor identification. The HTML is well-structured with responsive design and optimized images for various screen sizes. SEO meta tags and Open Graph data are properly implemented. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to improve performance. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and formalize technical documentation for security and compliance.
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.
