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

5 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Giant Digital operates as a niche digital agency serving the charity and ethical sectors, leveraging a technology stack centered on Django CMS and Python. Their competitive advantage lies in their sector specialization, sustainability focus, and long-standing client relationships with notable charities. Revenue streams likely include project-based digital services and ongoing support contracts. The company targets UK-based non-profits and ethical organizations seeking digital transformation. Growth indicators include active content marketing via their journal and visible partnerships with sustainability and hosting providers. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and trust signals, positioning them well within their market niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of security monitoring tools like Sentry, and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile captcha. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not visibly confirmed and should be audited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly documented, representing an area for improvement. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility or designate a privacy contact point.
  5. Maintain and communicate clear data retention policies aligned with GDPR requirements.

  3. Use of modern technologies and security best practices.
  4. Clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Django CMS and Python, supported by Google Tag Manager for analytics and CookieHub for cookie management. Hosting is likely provided by Hetzner, a sustainable hosting provider. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate with video content and rich media, balanced by efficient resource loading. Technical debt appears low with current use of modern libraries and frameworks. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize incident response documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
