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. 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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 operates in the media and communication sector, offering comprehensive services including strategy, branding, media planning, and digital marketing. Their business model focuses on delivering integrated campaigns that combine creativity and strategic insight. The presence of numerous client case studies and social media links suggests a well-established client base and active engagement. The agency's longevity and award history indicate a competitive advantage in the regional market. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting independent operation. The company targets medium-sized to large organizations seeking impactful communication solutions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, representing compliance gaps. The use of Gravity Forms and iframe sandboxing for form submissions is a positive security practice. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and technical improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging Gravity Forms for data collection and Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. The use of SVG logos and responsive design indicates modern front-end practices. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak Network SA, a reputable Swiss provider. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JS assets. The site includes multimedia content via Vimeo and uses Fancybox for galleries. Some technical debt is noted in missing DNSSEC and incomplete security headers. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but can be optimized further for security and 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.
