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

Friendly Fire Communications GmbH is a Vienna-based technology company specializing in advanced 3D visualizations, virtual production, and interactive digital experiences. With approximately 20 years of experience and a client portfolio of over 100 brands, they offer a broad range of services including product visualization, real-time 3D configurators, digital brand storytelling, and virtual production solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering customized digital transformation packages tailored to client needs, targeting businesses seeking innovative digital marketing and product engagement tools. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Elementor Pro, Yoast SEO, and WPML for multilingual support. The site integrates multiple analytics platforms including Google Analytics and Matomo, and employs performance optimizations via WP Rocket. Hosting is provided by World4You. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and rich in multimedia content, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to data interception risks. Other security best practices such as HSTS, DNSSEC, and security headers are not implemented. The site does have a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating good privacy compliance. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, while the business and website demonstrate professionalism and strong market positioning, the absence of HTTPS significantly undermines security posture and user trust. Immediate implementation of SSL/TLS is strongly recommended to mitigate this critical risk.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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

Friendly Fire Communications GmbH occupies a strong niche in the digital visualization and virtual production market, leveraging long-term industry experience and a diverse client base. Their competitive advantage lies in offering end-to-end digital transformation services including consulting, app development, and storytelling, supported by advanced real-time 3D technologies. Revenue streams likely derive from customized service packages and project-based engagements. The target customer segment includes medium to large enterprises seeking innovative marketing and product visualization solutions. The company maintains a professional partnership ecosystem as evidenced by client logos and social media presence. Growth indicators include active content marketing, multilingual support, and integration of modern analytics tools.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the lack of HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. This exposes the website and its users to man-in-the-middle attacks and data breaches. No advanced security policies or incident response information are publicly available, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent, but technical security controls need urgent improvement. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers further weakens the security posture. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries, but the missing SSL is a critical vulnerability that must be addressed to protect business operations and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide immediately.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain name system security.
  4. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on a well-maintained WordPress CMS with Elementor Pro for page building and Yoast SEO for search optimization. Multilingual support is provided by WPML. Hosting is managed by World4You, a reputable provider. Performance optimizations include WP Rocket caching and lazy loading of media. Analytics integration is comprehensive, using both Google Analytics and Matomo. However, the lack of HTTPS is a major technical deficiency. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, but could improve accessibility features. Overall, the technical stack is modern and robust but requires urgent security upgrades to meet industry standards.
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.
