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

Dystopia digital is a small digital-first creative collective founded in 2020, specializing in technology-driven creative services including UI/UX design, ecommerce, marketplace development, 3D and motion design, and branding. The company serves a diverse client base across sectors such as real estate, finance, lighting design, movie production, and architecture, positioning itself as a niche provider of innovative digital solutions. The website showcases a portfolio of client projects, reflecting a professional and consistent brand image. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, hosted on DigitalOcean, and optimized for fast performance and mobile responsiveness. The site lacks a CMS and does not include analytics or tracking scripts, indicating a focus on privacy and simplicity. However, accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers and published security policies. There is no evidence of privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Contact information is limited to email addresses without phone numbers or physical addresses. These gaps reduce the overall security and compliance posture. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a moderate security posture but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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 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. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Dystopia digital operates as a digital creative agency targeting businesses and organizations needing technology-driven creative solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in a diverse portfolio spanning multiple industries and a modern tech stack enabling innovative digital experiences. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on project-based engagements with clients. Revenue streams likely derive from digital design, development, and branding services. The company demonstrates growth through a steady portfolio of projects from 2018 to 2025. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple client domains linked on the website, indicating a broad network. Strategic observations suggest the company could benefit from enhanced compliance and security transparency to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented with good SSL configuration, but the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and NIS2. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no forms or tracking scripts present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern and performant technology stack centered on Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, enabling fast loading times and good mobile optimization. Hosting on DigitalOcean provides reliable infrastructure. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach, reducing complexity but potentially increasing maintenance effort. SEO and accessibility are basic, with opportunities to improve metadata and ARIA attributes. No analytics or marketing tools are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach but limiting data-driven insights. Technical risks are low but include missing security headers and lack of compliance documentation, which could impact business operations if regulatory scrutiny increases.
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.
