The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, providing a professional user experience. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism, but lacks advanced HTTP security headers and explicit security policies or incident response contacts.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 agency targets small and medium businesses primarily in Austria, offering a broad range of marketing and advertising services. Their market position is that of an experienced regional player with over 30 years of expertise. The business model is service-based, focusing on full-service marketing solutions including digital and print media. Revenue streams likely come from consulting, design projects, digital marketing campaigns, and production services. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact information and client references, supporting trust and credibility. Partnerships include web development collaborators such as EWAY. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest the agency could benefit from enhanced security transparency and formalized incident response processes to strengthen client trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, it lacks HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is present, and no incident response contact information is provided, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Google Ads is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small agency website but could be improved by adopting additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or a vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance and security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS with front-end technologies including UIkit, jQuery, and ScrollReveal for animations. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed through optimization of assets and scripts. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and labels but could be enhanced. The lack of HTTP security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks that could impact trust and security. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
