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

Digital Grace Design is a specialized web design service provider focusing on creatives, photographers, wedding professionals, interior designers, and wellness brands. Recognized as Showit's Designer of the Year, the company leverages the Showit platform and StoryBrand methodology to deliver tailored website solutions. The business operates with a small team and targets niche creative markets, positioning itself as a trusted expert in its domain. Technically, the website is built on WordPress integrated with Showit, utilizing modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and professional design quality, enhancing user experience and engagement. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced DNS security and security headers, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks. Overall, the domain registration details align well with the business age and legitimacy, supporting trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing security headers to strengthen security and regulatory posture.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 company operates in the media and creative services sector, offering bespoke website design primarily for creative professionals and small businesses. Its competitive advantage lies in its Showit Designer of the Year recognition and StoryBrand expertise, which appeals to clients seeking high-quality, narrative-driven web presence. Revenue streams likely derive from custom design projects and consulting services. The target customer segment is niche and specialized, focusing on creatives and wellness brands, which supports a focused marketing and service delivery approach. The company maintains active social media channels for brand engagement and client acquisition. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified, indicating an independent operation. Growth indicators include sustained domain registration and professional web presence. The partnership ecosystem includes Showit platform and various marketing and analytics service providers.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, and uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in formal security governance and incident handling readiness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also suggests incomplete compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting recommended best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve security governance and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS integrated with the Showit platform, leveraging Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses modern web fonts and responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing, which may impact load times. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, with standard registrar locks but lacks DNSSEC. The site uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Pinterest scripts for tracking and marketing purposes. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data. Opportunities exist to improve performance by optimizing third-party scripts and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
