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

Ecreativeworks is a specialized B2B industrial web development and digital marketing agency with a strong presence in the United States. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including ecommerce website development, SEO, content marketing, and digital advertising tailored for manufacturers, OEMs, distributors, and engineers. Their market position is supported by over 20 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 3800 industrial website builds, positioning them as a trusted partner in the industrial sector. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack with popular JavaScript libraries and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Klaviyo. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and demonstrates good SEO practices. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts to enhance user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted as an area for improvement. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations including GDPR. However, the WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy and consistency with the company's claimed history. This discrepancy impacts the overall trust score but does not negate the evident professionalism and business credibility of the site.

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

5 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 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';…

  2. 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Ecreativeworks operates in a niche market focusing on industrial B2B clients, providing tailored web development and digital marketing solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in deep industry knowledge, a comprehensive service offering, and a strong client portfolio. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through custom projects and ongoing marketing programs. Target customers include manufacturers, OEMs, distributors, and engineers across various industries. The company demonstrates growth through extensive case studies, certifications, and a robust digital presence. Partnerships with Google, Salesforce, and BBB accreditation enhance their credibility. Strategic observations include a strong emphasis on transparency, client collaboration, and leveraging data-driven marketing tactics.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. Use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is well managed with asynchronous script loading. However, the lack of explicit security headers and absence of a public security policy or incident response contact reduces overall security maturity. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture could be improved by publishing clear security policies and contact channels. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and formalized incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure all web forms include anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  5. Address the WHOIS data inconsistency by verifying domain registration details to strengthen business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based technology stack including jQuery, jQuery UI, and various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Klaviyo. The site is custom-built with a proprietary CMS platform optimized for industrial B2B needs. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and asynchronous script execution. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. SEO practices are solid with appropriate meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance and security monitoring. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and streamline script loading for improved performance.
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.
