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

Communicraft Ltd. is a well-established digital agency based in Dublin, Ireland, founded in 2001. The company specializes in web design, development, management, and strategic consultancy, with a strong focus on human-centered digital experiences. Their ISO 27001 certification underscores a commitment to information security, positioning them as a trusted partner for clients requiring secure and reliable digital solutions. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, showcasing client testimonials and case studies that reinforce their market position. Technically, the website employs modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and integrates multiple analytics platforms including Matomo, Hotjar, Google Tag Manager, and Simple Analytics, all managed with a cookie consent mechanism to ensure privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in metadata and structured data. However, explicit security headers are not detected, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security configurations. From a security perspective, the company demonstrates strong practices through ISO 27001 certification and secure web application maintenance. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates GDPR awareness and compliance. The absence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises questions about domain registration transparency but does not directly impact the website's operational security. Overall, Communicraft presents a low-risk profile with a mature digital infrastructure and strong business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing HTTP security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trustworthiness further.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Communicraft operates in the technology sector as a specialized digital agency offering comprehensive web design, development, and consultancy services. Their market positioning is strengthened by long-term client relationships, ISO 27001 certification, and a portfolio of reputable clients across various industries. The business model focuses on delivering tailored digital solutions that integrate UX design, secure web applications, and strategic consultancy.

Security posture

Communicraft demonstrates a mature security posture highlighted by ISO 27001 certification, which indicates adherence to internationally recognized information security management standards. The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms to comply with privacy regulations. Security best practices include secure web application development and maintenance services. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. The lack of a publicly available vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from improved communication and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities proactively.
  4. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and accurate or clearly justified if privacy protection is used.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to stay compliant with evolving regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and responsive images. Accessibility features are present, including skip links and ARIA labels.

The technical implementation supports a fast, mobile-optimized, and user-friendly experience with room for improvement in security header configurations.
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.
