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

5 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 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 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

  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 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
  • 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

Contently operates in the technology sector, specifically in content marketing SaaS and services. Their business model combines software platform offerings with managed content creation and a freelance marketplace. The company targets large enterprise brands seeking to scale content production efficiently. Their competitive advantage lies in AI integration, a large vetted talent pool, and comprehensive analytics. The presence of multiple marketing tools and tracking pixels indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The company has a strong brand presence with consistent messaging and client endorsements. Partnerships with freelance platforms and embedded lead capture forms support their growth and customer acquisition strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and domain transfer protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses secure embedded forms via Pardot and ChiliPiper for lead capture. Incident response and security policies are not publicly disclosed, which could be a compliance gap. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected, potentially impacting GDPR adherence. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and multiple analytics and marketing integrations. Hosting is via AWS, providing scalable and reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses embedded video content from Vimeo and integrates third-party marketing tools like Pardot and ChiliPiper for lead management. Some technical debt is indicated by multiple Google Tag Manager containers and repeated script inclusions, which could be optimized. Accessibility is basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with opportunities for optimization.
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.
