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

FastForward.design is a web design service offering affordable, fully-built, and ready-to-launch websites designed by the award-winning agency Garcy.Studio. The company targets startups, SMBs, agencies, and personal brands seeking professional websites without the high cost and time commitment of custom builds. Their business model focuses on selling pre-built website designs with customization based on client content, operating on a one-time payment basis. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS, uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Plyr for video playback, Lenis for smooth scrolling, and integrates analytics tools like Google Analytics and Smartlook. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, with excellent design and user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy and terms of service present but no cookie consent mechanism. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but the professional presentation and branding mitigate concerns. Overall, the website scores well on content quality and technical implementation but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

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.

Business context

Business profile

FastForward.design positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to custom web design, leveraging the expertise of Garcy.Studio. The company benefits from a strong brand association with an award-winning agency, enhancing credibility. Their market positioning targets businesses that need fast, professional websites optimized for growth and conversions. Revenue streams likely come from direct sales of pre-built website licenses. The target customer segments include startups, small to medium businesses, agencies, and personal brands. The company ecosystem includes Garcy.Studio as the parent entity, suggesting potential for upselling custom services as clients grow. The website content and service offerings indicate a focus on scalability and ease of use, appealing to clients who want professional results without complexity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, ensuring encrypted communications. However, no explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Smartlook and Google Analytics introduces some privacy considerations, but no cookie consent mechanism was detected, which may be a compliance gap under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved by implementing security headers, privacy controls, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as Plyr for video playback and Lenis for smooth scrolling. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates analytics tools including Google Analytics and Smartlook for user behavior tracking. The site is hosted on Webflow's platform, which typically provides good performance and scalability. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with fast loading times indicated by the use of CDN-hosted assets. Accessibility features appear to be implemented at a basic to good level, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes used in interactive components. SEO optimization is good, with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, supporting a high-quality user experience.
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.
