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

3 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. 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
  • 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

Elephant operates as a digital agency in the technology sector, focusing on digital branding and user experience. Their business model revolves around providing integrated digital solutions that combine technical and creative aspects. The company appears to maintain a small size with a focused service offering. Their use of third-party analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Leadinfo suggests an emphasis on data-driven marketing strategies. The absence of explicit contact information and terms of service pages may limit direct customer engagement and trust signals. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms such as Google and Meta, enhancing their marketing reach. Growth indicators are implied by the active domain and consistent branding but lack explicit financial or operational data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. The use of Cookiebot for consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, reflecting compliance awareness. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, as well as no visible incident response or security policy pages, indicates gaps in comprehensive security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site lacks a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact transparency by providing verified company contact emails and phone numbers.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with integration of modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Gravity Forms, and Cookiebot for consent management. Fonts are loaded asynchronously using WebFont Loader, improving performance. Hosting is provided by team.blue nl B.V., a reputable registrar with DNSSEC enabled, enhancing DNS security. Performance is moderate with optimizations such as preconnect hints and caching via WP Rocket. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and reduce third-party tracking footprint.
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.
