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

4c media is a small digital agency based in Bayreuth, Germany, specializing in web design, graphic design, copywriting, corporate design, and crossmedia publishing. The website presents a professional image with a clear focus on digital agency services targeting businesses seeking creative and digital marketing solutions. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as SVG graphics, CSS, and JavaScript, with hosting provided by Schlund Technologies. The site implements HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, demonstrating basic compliance with privacy regulations. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service are not found, indicating room for improvement in compliance documentation. Security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected, but additional security headers and incident response information would enhance trust. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and suitable for its target audience, but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. 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"

    • 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 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

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

The company operates as a regional digital agency with a focus on creative and digital marketing services. Its market position is that of a small but professional agency serving local and regional clients. The business model revolves around providing bespoke digital solutions including web design and corporate branding. The absence of detailed business registration data and contact emails on the website limits deeper business intelligence insights. The use of Google Analytics and CookieFirst indicates an awareness of digital marketing and privacy compliance, albeit basic. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and targets businesses requiring digital agency services.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and uses Google Analytics with IP anonymization, reflecting a commitment to user privacy. A cookie consent banner is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest moderate security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could improve transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small digital agency but could be strengthened with additional best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security contact email.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more detailed contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including SVG for graphics, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. Hosting is provided by Schlund Technologies, a known German hosting provider. The site loads external scripts for cookie consent and analytics, indicating integration with third-party services. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, though structured data like JSON-LD is not present. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical implementation is solid for a small agency website but lacks advanced CMS or framework usage indications.
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.
