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

3 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 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. 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

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

Fold7 operates in the competitive creative agency market, targeting medium to large brands requiring comprehensive advertising and digital solutions. Their business model focuses on integrated creative services including strategy, branding, social media, and innovation. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms and uses advanced marketing tools to enhance client campaigns. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio of high-profile clients and multiple industry awards. The agency maintains a transparent and credible public profile, though explicit legal and privacy documentation could be improved.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS, indicating a secure hosting environment. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, and tracking technologies include HubSpot and LinkedIn pixels. However, the absence of explicit security policies, vulnerability disclosures, and security headers suggests room for improvement in security maturity. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration is stable and consistent with the business claims, supporting trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot analytics, and OneTrust for cookie management. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and CDN, providing performance and security benefits. The CMS appears to be Prismic, supporting dynamic content delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Some technical debt is noted in the lack of security headers and incomplete legal documentation. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize security controls to reduce operational risks.
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.
