Security score

Risk levelHigh

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

Forward & Forward is a small design and development studio specializing in branding, product strategy, UX, and design development services. The company appears to target businesses and organizations seeking professional design and development solutions. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with good design quality and user experience. The technical infrastructure includes common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Albacross tracking, hosted likely via Websupport.sk based on DNS data. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with some best practices like domain transfer protection but lacks visible security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no GDPR indicators. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in security and compliance areas.

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. 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 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

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

The company operates as a niche design and development studio with a service-based business model. It has been established since 2011, indicating stability and experience. The market position is focused on providing specialized design and UX services. The lack of detailed contact information and absence of certifications or trust badges may limit trust signals. The use of common analytics and tracking tools suggests some marketing efforts but without visible consent mechanisms. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed. The company appears to maintain a lean operation with a focused service offering.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The domain uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers, which is a positive control. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected in the HTML content. SSL configuration details are not provided, so HTTPS enforcement cannot be confirmed. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure user data.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Publish security policies and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technology stack primarily based on jQuery 3.3.1 and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Albacross tracking scripts. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or static site. Hosting appears to be provided by Websupport.sk based on DNS nameservers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks modern security headers and visible HTTPS enforcement details. There is some technical debt in the form of multiple jQuery script inclusions and lack of updated libraries. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve security configurations, and enhance accessibility and privacy compliance.
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.
