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

Déise Design is a small Irish business specializing in website design and internet consultancy services. The website currently serves as a placeholder announcing a new website coming soon, providing basic contact information including an email address and phone numbers. The business appears to target local clients seeking web design and consultancy services. The market position is that of a small, local service provider with limited online presence at this time. Technically, the website is very minimal with no detected CMS, frameworks, or modern technologies. There is no evidence of HTTPS or security headers, and no analytics or tracking tools are present. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and SEO best practices are not implemented. The hosting provider and infrastructure details are not disclosed. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and security headers is a significant weakness. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. The site does not expose any forms or interactive elements, reducing attack surface but also limiting functionality. Contact information is openly displayed but could be vulnerable to spam. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires improvements. The overall risk assessment is moderate due to minimal content and lack of security controls. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding privacy and cookie policies, improving mobile and accessibility compliance, and enhancing website content and professionalism to build trust and credibility.

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

10 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

    • 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

Déise Design operates as a small technology service provider focused on website design and internet consultancy. The business model is service-based, targeting local or regional clients. The company does not currently display detailed business information such as founding year or registration data. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. Revenue streams likely derive from client projects and consultancy fees. The minimal online presence suggests early-stage or low digital maturity. No competitive advantages or growth indicators are visible from the website content. The company appears to operate independently without a visible partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is low. Critical issues include lack of HTTPS, absence of security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The website does not collect user data via forms, reducing some risk, but the openly displayed contact information could be targeted by spam or phishing. There is no evidence of secure coding practices or vulnerability management. Overall, the security culture appears minimal and reactive rather than proactive.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  3. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Improve website design and content quality to enhance professionalism and user trust.
  5. Develop an incident response plan and publish contact information for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and inline CSS, with no detected JavaScript libraries or frameworks. There is no CMS or platform identified. The hosting provider is not disclosed. Performance is likely moderate due to minimal content but lacks optimization for mobile devices and accessibility. SEO is poor with no meta tags or structured data. The site lacks modern technical features and requires modernization to improve user experience 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.
