Gray Digital Media is a professional digital marketing company specializing in local market advertising and media solutions. The company serves a broad range of industries with tailored digital strategies aimed at increasing brand awareness, audience engagement, and lead generation.

The site is mobile optimized and features a professional design with clear navigation, although SEO optimization could be improved. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and spam protection on forms, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 in the media sector with a focus on digital marketing services for local businesses across over 150 industries. Their business model is B2B, providing digital advertising solutions and analytics to clients. The presence of a client login portal indicates ongoing service relationships and account management capabilities. The company leverages partnerships with related domains such as graydigitalmedia.com and gray.tv, suggesting a broader corporate ecosystem. Their marketing tools and tracking services include Google Tag Manager and Vimeo, supporting multimedia content delivery and analytics. The company targets businesses seeking to expand their local market reach through digital channels. Growth indicators include a modern website with interactive features and a comprehensive contact form for lead capture.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and Google reCAPTCHA protecting contact forms from spam. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. No explicit incident response or security policy pages are published, which limits transparency on how security incidents are handled. The domain registration is transparent and protected against unauthorized transfers, enhancing trust. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved by implementing additional security controls and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish an explicit security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, GSAP for animations, Vimeo for video content, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is hosted likely via GoDaddy, as indicated by WHOIS data and DNS servers. Performance is moderate with some heavy multimedia content but generally good mobile optimization. SEO optimization is limited due to meta robots tags set to noindex, nofollow, which may hinder search engine visibility. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, indicating a mature approach to data collection and marketing. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site build. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and interactive user experience but could benefit from SEO improvements and enhanced accessibility.
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.
