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

2 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

  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

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 agency positions itself as a leader in international marketing services with sector-specific expertise and a global network through UK and MENA hubs. Their business model is service-oriented, focusing on delivering impactful campaigns using proprietary tools like the Difference Engine. The company leverages partnerships such as thenetworkone to extend global reach. Their marketing approach includes advanced audience insights, behavior change theory, and responsible AI. The presence of a certified B Corp status and detailed legal and privacy documentation indicates a commitment to ethical business practices. The company targets organizations in health, government, and future industries, suggesting a focus on complex, regulated sectors requiring specialized communications expertise.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance efforts. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which is common but reduces visibility into domain ownership. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Maintain and regularly review cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trust signals.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with HubSpot, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing automation. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and canonical links. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich multimedia content and external script dependencies. The technical infrastructure reflects a mature digital presence suitable for a professional marketing agency. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and possibly optimize loading performance further. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
