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

DigitalGroot is a small-sized digital marketing agency based in India, primarily serving the Prayagraj, Lucknow, and Varanasi regions. The company offers a range of services including website designing, SEO, social media optimization, Google Ads management, and content writing. The website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, and Revolution Slider, indicating a moderate level of technical maturity and focus on performance and SEO. Contact information is clearly presented, enhancing business credibility. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap that should be addressed to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security policies or incident response information.

Checks completed
9of 9

NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside
  5. (e) Secure acquisition, development and maintenance, including vulnerability handling: Partly checked
  6. (f) Assessing the effectiveness of security measures: Not visible from outside
  7. (g) Cyber hygiene and security training: Not visible from outside
  8. (h) Cryptography and encryption: Partly checked
  9. (i) HR security, access control and asset management: One indicator
  10. (j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Without HSTS, a visitor who types the address or follows an http:// link makes a first request over plain HTTP, which an attacker on the same network can intercept and keep unencrypted (SSL stripping).

      What to do: Send "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" on HTTPS responses once every subdomain works over HTTPS (use max-age=31536000 alone otherwise).

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • Medium

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Other websites can load your pages inside an invisible frame and trick visitors into clicking buttons on them (clickjacking).

      What to do: Send "Content-Security-Policy: frame-ancestors 'self'" (or X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN for older browsers).

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      No privacy policy link found

      No link to a privacy notice was found on the scanned page (searched in English and the main EU languages). GDPR Art. 12 and 13 require the notice to be easy to find wherever personal data is collected.

      What to do: Link the privacy policy from the footer of every page.

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      The DMARC policy is p=none, so mail that fails authentication is still delivered; the record only collects reports.

      What to do: Review the aggregate reports, then move to p=quarantine and finally p=reject.

  4. Website hygiene

    Outdated scripts and CMS versions are how most small-business sites get compromised; a security.txt file tells researchers where to report what they find.

    • Medium

      Outdated JavaScript library with known vulnerabilities

      jquery 3.4.1 (loaded from https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js) has 2 published vulnerabilities: CVE-2020-11023, GHSA-jpcq-cgw6-v4j6, CVE-2020-11022, GHSA-gxr4-xjj5-5px2.

      What to do: Upgrade jquery to 3.5.0 or later and retest the pages that use it.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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 positions itself as a regional digital marketing service provider targeting businesses in key Indian cities. Its business model revolves around providing digital marketing solutions to local clients, leveraging SEO and paid advertising channels. The website's use of structured data and SEO plugins suggests an emphasis on organic search visibility. The lack of partner or subsidiary domains indicates a standalone operation. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Google Ads scripts shows active marketing and analytics efforts. The company appears to be established since 2017, consistent with domain registration data, and maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a presumably good SSL configuration, uses optimization plugins that can enhance security indirectly, and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML content. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that could harden the site against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and trust. Forms are present but no explicit mention of secure handling or CAPTCHA mechanisms was found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance site security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding accessibility improvements and detailed data retention policies to enhance user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including PHP, jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome. It uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, WP Rocket for caching and performance, and Revolution Slider for visual content. The site loads Google Fonts and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Ads for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with optimizations in place but could benefit from further speed improvements. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured data. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content.
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.
