Risk levelHigh

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

Foresite Group is a small independent digital agency founded in 2014, specializing in web design, development, branding, and digital strategy. The company targets businesses seeking comprehensive digital solutions and has established a professional market position with a clear portfolio and active social media presence. The website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools, reflecting a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security transparency.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Foresite Group operates as a service-based digital agency in the technology sector, focusing on creative and strategic digital solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their collaborative approach and diverse team expertise. Revenue streams likely come from client projects in branding, web development, and digital marketing. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem via social media and client showcases. Growth indicators include a well-maintained portfolio and active content updates. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve compliance and security posture to enhance client trust and meet regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended best practices. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicating limited transparency in security readiness. GDPR compliance is not clearly addressed, and no data protection officer contact is provided. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Instagram feed introduces moderate tracking but no evident vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with formal policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Create and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Yoast SEO plugin and jQuery libraries, indicating a modern but common CMS infrastructure. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML structure. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility features and advanced SEO optimizations. The hosting provider is inferred as GoDaddy based on registrar data. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to DNS attacks and clickjacking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
