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

Firma is a medium-sized innovation and branding agency based in Spain, serving visionary founders and business leaders with a comprehensive suite of branding services including insights, strategy, creative, and experience design. The company is positioned as a premium agency with notable clients such as Volkswagen and Typeform, and holds B Corp and Climate Neutral certifications, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries like GSAP and Lenis for smooth animations and user experience enhancements. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a moderate level of user tracking and data collection. However, the website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical security vulnerability that undermines user trust and data protection. DNS security features such as DNSSEC and CAA records are also absent, representing further areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy page, supporting GDPR adherence. Overall, the website is professionally designed and content-rich but requires urgent security upgrades to meet modern standards.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Firma operates in the branding and innovation sector, targeting business leaders and founders who seek transformative brand strategies. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering tailored branding solutions that combine research, strategy, creative design, and user experience. The agency's market position is strong within its niche, supported by a portfolio of high-profile clients and certifications that enhance credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing brand consultancy. The company maintains a multi-location presence in Barcelona, Madrid, and Miami, indicating international reach. Partnerships and affiliations, such as with Mio Group, suggest a broader corporate ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence, supporting lead generation and brand positioning.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like HSTS and Content Security Policy are present, their effectiveness is limited without proper TLS encryption. The DNS configuration lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, which are important for preventing domain spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available on the site, indicating potential gaps in security governance. The use of modern analytics and tracking tools is balanced with visible cookie consent mechanisms, supporting privacy compliance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to improve the security posture and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Acquire and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and certificate issuance control.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Regularly audit and update security headers and ensure all scripts and libraries are up to date.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more comprehensive privacy compliance documentation.

Notes

The website is hosted on Webflow with DNS managed by DreamHost and proxied/cached via Cloudflare. It uses a modern front-end stack including GSAP for animations, Lenis for smooth scrolling, and DotLottie for animated content. Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity provide analytics and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and security risk. Performance metrics are not available, but the use of CDN and caching suggests moderate to good loading speeds. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and rich multimedia content. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to align with best practices.
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.
