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

esistfreitag is a German creative agency established in 2011, specializing in multidisciplinary projects and campaigns that connect brands with people. The company operates beyond traditional agency services by running a city magazine, a curated product store, and an urban space for creativity and events. Their market position is that of a small but established agency with a strong community focus and a modern approach to creative services. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Lottie animations, hosted on rzone.de servers. The site is mobile-optimized and features video backgrounds and interactive elements, though SEO metadata is minimal. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements, though improvements in security transparency and SEO could enhance its profile.

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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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';…

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

The agency targets businesses and brands seeking creative and strategic marketing solutions, offering services including strategy, design, digital marketing, corporate publishing, social media, campaigns, and video production. Their business model integrates agency services with community engagement through their magazine and store, creating diversified revenue streams. The partnership with 'Frankfurt du bist so wunderbar' indicates local community involvement and brand extension. The company maintains active social media channels to engage audiences and promote their offerings. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with multimedia content and a clear service portfolio. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with a small professional agency, supporting business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communication. A cookie consent mechanism is in place, supporting privacy compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The security score is good but could be improved by adopting best practices and transparency measures. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative agency but should evolve with growing digital risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and build trust with security researchers.
  4. Enhance SEO metadata with meaningful descriptions and keywords to improve search engine visibility.
  5. Consider adding physical contact information and phone numbers to increase business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Lottie animations for interactive content. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Hosting is provided by rzone.de, as indicated by the nameservers. The site features video backgrounds and responsive design elements, ensuring good mobile usability. However, SEO metadata is sparse, and accessibility features are basic. No CMS or backend platform was detected from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with some heavy media elements like videos that may impact load times. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to future-proof the site.
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.
