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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

  4. 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"

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

Ciceron Group operates in the media sector, focusing on experiential marketing and event management. Their business model centers on delivering brand experiences that foster loyalty and excitement. The company has received multiple industry awards, enhancing its credibility and market reputation. Their client portfolio includes notable brands, and their website showcases extensive case studies and client logos, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. The company targets brands and businesses seeking innovative event solutions, leveraging digital marketing tools and analytics to optimize campaigns. Growth indicators include recent projects and active content updates. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data aligns with their transparent business approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of security headers likely managed by Cloudflare. Cookie consent is actively managed with opt-in mechanisms for analytics and advertising cookies, supporting GDPR compliance. No security policy or incident response information is publicly available, representing an area for improvement. Third-party scripts are used extensively but appear to be from reputable sources. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from explicit security and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider implementing and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, UIkit for UI components, and FullPage.js for smooth scrolling effects. The site uses Formidable Forms for contact data collection and CookieYes for consent management. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and asynchronous script loading. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting details are not explicit but Cloudflare is used for CDN and bot management. Technical debt appears low with up-to-date plugins and frameworks, though accessibility could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience.
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.
