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

FIREANT STUDIO is a well-established full-service brand and digital marketing agency specializing in accessible WordPress website design and development. Founded in 2003 and based in Denver, CO, the company serves a diverse clientele including businesses, higher education institutions, non-profits, and government entities. Their comprehensive service offerings include digital marketing solutions, branding, UI/UX design, custom WordPress and Drupal development, and ongoing marketing support. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with strong client trust signals and detailed case studies showcasing their expertise. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO Premium and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy, with standard domain security locks in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security and compliance perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which impacts GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy information is published. The WHOIS data shows a consistent and legitimate domain registration dating back to 2003, reinforcing business credibility. Overall, FIREANT STUDIO's website demonstrates strong business credibility and technical maturity but should enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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';…

  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

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

FIREANT STUDIO occupies a niche market as a specialized digital marketing and web development agency focusing on accessible websites for sectors such as higher education, non-profits, and government. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive in-house capabilities and long-standing client relationships. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based web development, ongoing marketing services, and digital strategy consulting. The company targets organizations requiring compliant and accessible digital solutions, positioning itself as a trusted partner in these sectors. The presence of notable clients and detailed case studies indicates a stable growth trajectory and a strong reputation within their market segment. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries were not identified, suggesting a focused business model without complex corporate structures.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks enabled to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicates limited transparency in security governance. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small agency but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation to mitigate risks and build client trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with integration of SEO tools (Yoast SEO Premium), Google Tag Manager for analytics, and web fonts from Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit. The site uses JavaScript libraries such as ScrollMagic and Body Scroll Lock to enhance user experience. Hosting is inferred to be with GoDaddy based on registrar and nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security-related technical improvements are recommended.
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.
