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. 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. 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 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';…

  4. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Creative Army operates in the media and creative services sector, targeting businesses in southern Sweden seeking comprehensive communication and digital marketing solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored creative services ranging from web design to branding and marketing campaigns. The company leverages partnerships with well-known brands and maintains a strong reputation evidenced by industry awards. Revenue streams likely include project-based creative services and ongoing marketing support. The website's client logos and case studies indicate a broad partnership ecosystem and a strategic focus on quality and innovation. Growth indicators include recent campaigns and digital content updates. The absence of phone contact suggests a preference for email communication and possibly a boutique agency size.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance for tracking and advertising cookies. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages are published, which could limit transparency and readiness in case of security events. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Consider adding a company phone number or additional contact channels to enhance customer trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Cookiebot for consent management. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Performance is moderate with video content and multiple external resources, but mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic but present. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to improve technical SEO and accessibility further. No critical technical debt or risks were detected, but adding security headers and optimizing resource loading could enhance performance and security.
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.
