Risk levelHigh

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

Caotica is a small technology service provider specializing in web development and online marketing, targeting medium-sized companies primarily in Estonia and internationally. The company offers a broad range of digital services including SEO, Google Ads, social media campaigns, email marketing, and content management. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools integrated, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, although some security headers are missing and no explicit incident response or security policy pages are available. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data due to EURid privacy policies limits transparency but is common for .eu domains. Overall, the website is trustworthy and functional with room for improvement in contact transparency and security best practices.

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. 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 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
      • 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

  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 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';…

  4. 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

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

Caotica positions itself as an experienced web development and digital marketing agency with over 15 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 200 projects for 65+ clients. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on medium-sized enterprises needing tailored digital solutions. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a bilingual presence with an Estonian language site. Revenue streams likely come from project-based web development, ongoing support, and digital marketing campaigns. The company demonstrates consistent branding and client trust signals through displayed partner logos and privacy compliance. Growth indicators include a long operational history and diversified service offerings.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and integrates cookie consent mechanisms that comply with GDPR requirements. Google Analytics and Google Ads are used with user opt-out options, reflecting privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The site lacks explicit security or incident response policies and contact channels, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with good foundational controls but opportunities for enhancement remain.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Provide clear and verified contact information such as company emails and phone numbers on the website to increase business credibility and user trust.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
