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

4 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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

Digitale Kreativ Agentur operates as a specialized media and marketing agency focused on delivering integrated advertising solutions to businesses primarily in the Kassel region. Their competitive advantage lies in offering both digital and traditional print marketing services under one roof, appealing to clients seeking comprehensive crossmedia campaigns. The agency's business model revolves around service contracts and project-based engagements with a broad client portfolio including automotive, healthcare, retail, and real estate sectors. Growth indicators include a high volume of annual content production and social media posts, as well as a robust partner ecosystem featuring well-known regional brands. Their strategic partnerships and client testimonials suggest a strong reputation and customer satisfaction, positioning them well within their local market niche.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and GDPR-compliant cookie consent management. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could limit transparency in case of security events. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the current analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small agency, but formalizing security policies and enhancing header configurations would strengthen defenses and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Maintain and document data retention policies and privacy compliance measures to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for interactive sliders and jQuery for DOM manipulation. SEO is managed via the Rank Math plugin, which provides structured data and meta tag optimization. Cookie consent is handled by the Borlabs Cookie plugin, ensuring compliance with GDPR. The site is mobile responsive with adaptive layouts and uses preloading for fonts to improve performance. While the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in lazy loading and script management. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience and effective digital marketing operations.
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.
