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. 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: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP 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
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: RPC

      Port 135 (RPC) is publicly accessible - RPC - Windows RPC endpoint

      What to do: Consider restricting access to RPC or implementing strong authentication

      • 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 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. 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 · 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

The company operates as a specialized digital agency with a business model focused on consulting, design, and technology services for digital projects. Their client portfolio includes reputable organizations and public institutions, indicating strong market positioning and trust. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing digital platform management. The target customer segments include enterprises, brands, and public sector clients seeking digital transformation and innovative media solutions. The agency demonstrates growth through diverse service offerings and participation in initiatives like Next Media Hamburg. Strategic partnerships with technology providers and clients in media and cultural sectors enhance their ecosystem. The company emphasizes GDPR compliance and user privacy, aligning with European regulatory standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. The presence of an opt-in cookie consent mechanism and anonymized data collection reflects good data protection practices. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could impact readiness for security incidents. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security culture appears aware but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration to ensure strong encryption and compliance with best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using Microsoft .NET technologies combined with Umbraco CMS for content management. It supports multiple platforms including web, mobile, and smart TV devices, and integrates advanced features like online video frameworks and AR/VR applications. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and structured content. The use of Matomo analytics with opt-in consent demonstrates a privacy-aware approach. However, the absence of detected security headers and incomplete WHOIS data indicate areas for technical improvement to strengthen security and domain legitimacy.
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.
