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

Fenway Strategies is a specialized speechwriting and executive communications firm established in 2013, serving high-profile clients including political leaders, CEOs, and public figures. The company offers a range of services such as speechwriting, message development, media training, and event scripting, positioning itself as a boutique agency with experienced professionals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins and uses Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for analytics and spam protection. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and content-rich, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, indicating legitimacy and stability.

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

8 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. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Fenway Strategies operates in the niche market of executive communications and speechwriting, targeting leaders and organizations that require high-quality, strategic messaging. Their competitive advantage lies in their experienced team and personalized approach, avoiding junior staff and AI-generated content. The business model is service-based, relying on bespoke client engagements. The company maintains multiple office locations in major U.S. cities, indicating a geographically distributed presence. Partnerships include a design firm (nclud.com). Growth indicators include a mature domain and a professional web presence. No direct revenue streams or pricing models are disclosed publicly.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect its contact form, which are positive security practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency and readiness. The domain is locked with standard EPP statuses, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with additional controls and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.3.1 with jQuery 2.1.0 and uses plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Google reCAPTCHA for form handling and spam prevention. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site loads a custom video on the homepage and uses a custom theme with inline CSS and JavaScript. Hosting appears to be with GoDaddy based on registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design. Accessibility is basic with some semantic HTML but no advanced ARIA roles detected. SEO is good with meta tags and canonical links present. Technical risks include outdated jQuery version and missing security headers.
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.
