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

8 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

      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

    • High

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

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

DDB Prague operates as a medium-sized creative agency focused on media and advertising services. Their business model centers on providing full-service creative solutions to brands and businesses, emphasizing emotional engagement and cultural impact. The company targets clients seeking innovative marketing campaigns, positioning itself as a leader in the Prague market with a portfolio of high-profile clients such as McDonald's and mBank. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated analytics and social media channels, supporting growth and client engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent operation. The agency's consistent branding and comprehensive portfolio indicate a stable and credible business with potential for further expansion in the European market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against certain web attacks. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and incident response information indicates gaps in privacy compliance and security transparency. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Site Kit and Google Analytics is standard but requires proper privacy disclosures. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved by adopting best practices in headers, consent management, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security or incident response policy page with contact information for reporting security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries such as Axios. It integrates Vimeo for video content and Google Analytics via Google Site Kit for tracking. The site uses UltraDNS for DNS services and loads resources from trusted CDNs like MaxCDN and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization. The HTML is valid and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly implemented. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some SEO enhancements. There is no evidence of server-side security headers in the provided data, which is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
