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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Flick operates in the pest control sector targeting residential and commercial customers in New Zealand. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on pest management solutions. The company leverages digital marketing tools and maintains consistent branding. While no explicit certifications or regulatory compliance statements are present, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating legitimacy. The company uses social media channels actively for engagement. Growth potential exists through enhanced privacy compliance and security practices.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that mitigate common web vulnerabilities. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are visible, which may affect trust for security-conscious users. Forms are present but no explicit anti-CSRF or input validation mechanisms are observable from the HTML. Overall, security is basic but could be significantly improved.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking user behavior. The site uses modern web fonts and icon fonts (Fontello). Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and responsive design. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA and semantic HTML elements but could be improved. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is Key-Systems GmbH. No CDN or advanced caching mechanisms are evident from the HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small to medium business website.
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.
