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

Fifth Frame Ltd is a London-based video production company specializing in creating dynamic and engaging video content for businesses and elite sports organizations. Their services include promotional films, event video production, content marketing, charity films, business communications, motion graphics, sports production, and big screen content. The company targets professional clients seeking high-quality video storytelling to enhance brand presence and audience engagement. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with strong trust indicators such as client logos and testimonials. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and PJAX for seamless page transitions. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though accessibility features could be improved. No major technical issues or broken elements were detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for enhanced security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS lookup for the domain 'www.fifthframe.co.uk' failed due to the domain being invalid under Nominet UK rules, indicating the queried domain is a subdomain or misconfigured. This discrepancy lowers domain trustworthiness but does not negate the legitimacy of the business, which likely operates under a valid domain. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy with minor areas for security and privacy improvements. The domain WHOIS issue should be clarified by verifying the correct registered domain to improve trust and legitimacy perception.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Fifth Frame Ltd operates in the media sector, focusing on video production services for corporate and sports clients. Their competitive advantage lies in their international experience and ability to produce diverse video content including promos, live events, and motion graphics. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through project-based video production and content marketing services. The company targets medium to large businesses and sports organizations, leveraging partnerships with high-profile clients such as England Rugby and Sky Sports. Growth indicators include a strong portfolio, client testimonials, and a professional online presence. The company maintains active social media channels to engage with clients and prospects. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital marketing and enhance security posture to align with industry best practices.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy hosted externally, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were detected. Overall, the security culture appears basic with room for improvement in policy publication, header implementation, and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Clarify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data matches the website domain, improving trustworthiness.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify and mitigate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts and jQuery. It uses PJAX for seamless page transitions, enhancing user experience. Hosting is provided by Webflow's CDN, which supports moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. The site includes well-structured metadata and Open Graph tags for SEO and social sharing. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet higher standards. No analytics or tracking scripts beyond essential libraries were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is modern and stable but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
