Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Cannyworx is a small technology service provider specializing in website development and digital marketing services. The company claims to have won awards and been featured in magazines, positioning itself as a reputable player in the digital marketing space. The website is built on WordPress and utilizes a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and plugins to enhance user experience and functionality. The technical infrastructure reflects a moderate level of digital maturity with standard performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacking important security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data is missing, which raises concerns about registration legitimacy and reduces overall trust. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and verifying domain registration details to enhance business credibility and compliance.

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company operates in the competitive digital marketing and website development sector, targeting businesses seeking online presence enhancement. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering web solutions and marketing strategies. The presence of awards and media features suggests efforts to build market credibility. However, the lack of transparent business and contact information on the website limits trust. The technology stack is modern and leverages popular tools, indicating an investment in quality service delivery. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. Growth potential exists if compliance and transparency are improved.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security weakens its defense against common web attacks. No evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact channels was found, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. The use of multiple third-party scripts and plugins necessitates vigilant update and patch management to avoid vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no GDPR indicators or cookie consent mechanisms detected. Overall, the security maturity is basic and requires enhancements to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and uses a variety of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Three.js, Flickity, and Anime.js to provide interactive and dynamic content. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. The presence of caching and minified CSS/JS files indicates some performance optimization. However, the hosting provider could not be identified from the data. The technical stack is modern but requires better security and compliance integration to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
