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

      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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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

Codana operates in the technology sector as a software development agency focusing on bespoke solutions. Their business model revolves around delivering custom software projects including app development, web projects, AI solutions, and prototyping. The company serves primarily German-speaking markets and maintains a portfolio of reputable clients and partners, enhancing its credibility. The presence of client testimonials and logos indicates a strong trust ecosystem. Their digital maturity is high, utilizing modern tech stacks and cloud hosting. Growth indicators include a diverse service offering and active marketing channels. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to formalize security and privacy policies to further strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement, use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate bot activity, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. Security headers are minimal but include a permissions policy disabling interest-cohort tracking. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is good but could be improved by adding formal documentation and enhanced HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  3. Implement and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to improve compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with server-side rendering and optimized image loading. Hosting on Microsoft Azure ensures reliable performance and scalability. The integration of Google Analytics and Tag Manager is done with consent mode enabled, respecting user privacy. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Technical risks are low, but the lack of some security headers and formal policies could be addressed to reduce potential attack surface and improve compliance posture.
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.
