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

Culture Renovation is a niche business focused on organizational culture transformation through a research-backed book and associated services such as assessments, workshops, and advisory. The website serves as the official platform for the book by Kevin Oakes and offers resources and solutions to business leaders and HR professionals. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with Elementor and Bootstrap, hosted on A2 Hosting, and includes standard analytics tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The site is well designed, mobile optimized, and provides a professional user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is legitimate, trustworthy, and serves its business purpose effectively.

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. 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 website positions Culture Renovation as a thought leadership and consulting brand in organizational culture, leveraging a significant global research study and partnerships with i4cp. Revenue streams likely include book sales, consulting, assessments, and training courses. The target audience includes business leaders and HR professionals seeking actionable culture change frameworks. The presence of testimonials from notable figures and affiliations with i4cp enhance credibility. The business appears small but focused, with a clear niche and consistent branding. The partnership with i4cp is a strategic asset, providing research and advisory credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain registration protections, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policies are publicly disclosed, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and HubSpot forms introduces moderate tracking but no obvious vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide security contact information for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and popular CMS (WordPress) with Elementor page builder and Bootstrap framework, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. Hosting is provided by A2 Hosting, a reputable provider. The site loads moderate external resources including Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and analytics scripts. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is standard for content-driven business sites but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
