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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Cloudflare

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

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

Ferdio operates as a specialized service provider in the visual communication sector, focusing on custom content creation for clients across various industries. Their business model revolves around delivering tailored visual solutions such as infographics and animations to enhance client messaging. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through a strong portfolio, client trust signals, and a clear value proposition. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based engagements and long-term client relationships. The target customer segments include corporate clients, government agencies, and non-profits seeking to improve communication effectiveness. Growth indicators include a diverse client base and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and third-party service providers like Vimeo and Google. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and security enhancements could further strengthen their market position.

Security posture

Ferdio's security posture is solid but not exhaustive. The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and employs domain transfer protection. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant banner with opt-in functionality, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents potential areas for enhancement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could limit transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, Ferdio maintains a good baseline security posture appropriate for its business size but should consider formalizing security policies and implementing additional technical controls to mitigate emerging risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

It uses Typekit for custom fonts and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and includes SEO enhancements via Yoast SEO plugin.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
