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

Effecto Creatives s.r.o. is a Czech-based digital agency specializing in web development, e-commerce solutions, UX design, marketing, branding, and SEO services. The company emphasizes long-term client partnerships and continuous web project development, positioning itself as a trusted regional player with a portfolio of diverse clients across various industries. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored digital solutions and ongoing web management to ensure client success. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS and leverages modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, has a professional design, and provides clear navigation and rich content. However, some security best practices such as security headers and visible privacy/cookie policies are missing. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and employs standard tracking and marketing scripts. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy verification, although the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate business. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. The missing WHOIS data warrants further investigation to confirm domain registration legitimacy.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

Business profile

Effecto Creatives operates in the competitive Czech digital agency market, focusing on high-quality web and marketing services. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service offering, client partnership approach, and demonstrated success with notable clients. Revenue streams likely include project-based web development, ongoing web management contracts, and marketing campaign services. The target customers are businesses and organizations seeking professional digital transformation and marketing solutions. Growth indicators include active recruitment and a diverse portfolio. The company maintains partnerships with various clients across industries such as healthcare, technology, retail, and real estate, reflecting a broad market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers and absence of a public security policy or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via consent checkboxes in job application forms but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces potential privacy risks that should be managed carefully. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing agency website but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts, possibly via a security.txt file.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack centered on WordPress CMS with integration of Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured with semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve speed. However, the absence of security headers and incomplete privacy compliance are technical gaps. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. The site uses Google Maps API for location display. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but can be improved with enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
