The company specializes in delivering branding, design, and digital services to B2B, technology, and professional services sectors. Their market position is strong within their niche, emphasizing quality, longevity of client relationships, and a collaborative agency culture. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a comprehensive portfolio showcasing their expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA for security.

From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates reCAPTCHA on forms to mitigate spam. A GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism is implemented, reflecting good privacy practices.

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

5 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 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';…

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention fableco.uk, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for fableco.uk right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

Fable&Co. operates as a specialized creative agency focusing on branding, design, and digital services primarily for B2B and technology sectors. Their business model revolves around delivering bespoke creative solutions that foster long-term client relationships. The company has established a reputable market position through consistent quality and a collaborative culture. Revenue streams likely include project-based fees for branding, website design, and digital creative services. The presence of a detailed portfolio and client logos indicates a mature partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with recent projects and active social media presence. The company targets professional service firms and technology companies seeking high-quality branding solutions.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which is common for small agencies but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, GSAP, ScrollMagic, Swiper.js, and Google services such as Tag Manager and Analytics.

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.
