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

Duck Diver Marketing is a specialized marketing agency offering on-demand marketing services primarily targeting the dive industry. Their key offerings include social media management, SEO services, website creation, and online advertising management. The company positions itself as a flexible marketing partner for small to medium businesses, providing à la carte and full-service marketing solutions. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, reflecting a niche market focus with a history dating back to at least 2011. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using CherryFramework and Bootstrap, integrating WooCommerce and popular plugins like Contact Form 7 and Yoast SEO. The site employs Google Analytics and Jetpack for tracking, indicating moderate digital maturity. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers, which could be improved to enhance security posture. From a security perspective, the site shows no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as missing WHOIS registration data, raises concerns about compliance and domain legitimacy. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in policy visibility and technical safeguards. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable or unregistered according to the raw WHOIS output, which is inconsistent with the active website presence. This discrepancy reduces trustworthiness and suggests the need for further verification. The website is accessible without WAF or security challenges, allowing full content analysis. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, improving security headers, verifying domain registration, and enhancing accessibility and compliance measures.

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.

Priority findings

8 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 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"

      • 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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

Duck Diver Marketing operates as a small, specialized marketing agency with a focus on the dive industry niche. Their business model centers on providing flexible marketing services tailored to client needs, including social media, SEO, website development, and advertising management. The company leverages its industry expertise and personalized service approach to differentiate itself in a competitive market. The website content and blog indicate active engagement with their target audience and thought leadership in marketing and dive-related topics. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled client engagement via contact forms. The company appears to maintain a lean operational structure with a small team and a focused service portfolio. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the website or WHOIS data. The presence of a DEMA member badge adds credibility within the dive industry community.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, and the use of well-known WordPress plugins suggests a standard security baseline. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, points to compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and other data protection regulations. The WHOIS data inconsistency is a notable concern, potentially impacting domain trust and legitimacy. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from enhanced policy transparency, technical hardening, and incident preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen site security.
  3. Verify and correct WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Develop and publish incident response and security policies, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using CherryFramework and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and uses popular plugins such as Contact Form 7 for forms and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The site loads multiple external resources including Google Fonts, Font Awesome, jQuery libraries, and CDN-hosted assets, which contribute to moderate performance. The presence of Google Analytics and Jetpack indicates active user tracking and analytics. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive menu and layout. However, the absence of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features suggest technical debt in security and compliance areas. The WHOIS data absence is a technical anomaly that should be addressed to avoid trust issues. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small business website but requires updates to security and compliance best practices.
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.
