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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

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 positions itself as an experienced boutique creative agency with a focus on quality print and digital design services. Its business model revolves around service provision to clients needing branding, marketing, and web presence solutions. The presence of partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and structure suggest a focus on small to medium-sized businesses or individual entrepreneurs. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site may indicate a preference for initial contact via the provided form. The company maintains legal compliance with accessible imprint, privacy, and terms pages. Growth potential is supported by modern web presence and SEO efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and secure AJAX form submission. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, missing cookie consent mechanisms which are important under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Breakdance page builder plugin, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and GSAP for animations and interactivity. SEO is managed via the Rank Math plugin, with well-structured metadata and JSON-LD schema for organization and article data. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from both the domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with some heavy images but good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic with some focus styles and ARIA labels but could be improved. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting provider is not explicitly stated but domain registrar is T-Mobile Austria GmbH, indicating a reputable infrastructure.
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.
