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

Caotica OÜ is a specialized web design and development agency based in Estonia, operating since 2008. The company offers a comprehensive suite of digital services including website design, web development across platforms like WordPress, Webflow, and Wix, e-commerce solutions with WooCommerce and Shopify, as well as ongoing website management and SEO optimization. Their market position is that of a trusted, experienced small business serving both local and international clients, with over 200 projects completed and 80+ clients served. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and client testimonials, supporting their credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avia Framework and Yoast SEO plugin, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices with structured data and meta tags. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Zone Media OÜ, consistent with the company's Estonian base. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and no formal security or incident response policies are published. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could be areas for improvement. Overall, Caotica OÜ presents a low-risk profile with a solid business foundation, professional web presence, and basic privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility could further strengthen their security posture and trustworthiness.

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

8 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Caotica OÜ operates as a service-oriented digital agency focusing on web design and development, targeting businesses seeking modern and effective online presence. Their competitive advantage lies in extensive experience since 2008, a broad service portfolio including UX design, e-commerce, and SEO, and a strong local and international client base. Revenue streams are likely project-based with ongoing maintenance contracts. The company maintains partnerships with several organizations, as evidenced by partner logos and links, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include a large number of completed projects and client testimonials. The business model emphasizes quality, strategic digital support, and brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. The absence of explicit security headers and formal security policies suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could impact responsiveness to security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small digital agency but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress components and third-party scripts to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avia Framework and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly infrastructure. It uses jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. The site is hosted under Zone Media OÜ, consistent with the domain registrar, suggesting stable hosting arrangements. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The site is mobile responsive and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO. Technical risks include potential outdated plugins or themes if not regularly maintained and lack of advanced security headers. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs effectively but could be improved with performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
