Risk levelMedium

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

Glide Design is a Texas-based company specializing in web design, development, and SEO services, targeting businesses seeking digital marketing and website solutions. The website presents a professional design with good content quality and clear navigation, optimized for mobile devices. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture shows moderate maturity with the use of HTTPS and analytics scripts, but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness, suggesting the need for verification of domain registration status. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security transparency.

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

4 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.

    • 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

  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
    • 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

Glide Design operates as a small technology service provider focused on web design, development, and SEO within the Austin, Texas market. Their business model centers on delivering digital marketing and website solutions to local businesses. The company leverages popular marketing and analytics platforms to support client engagement and performance tracking. While the website content and branding are consistent and professional, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and absence of explicit contact information limit full business credibility assessment. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the provided data. The company appears positioned as a regional player with potential growth opportunities through enhanced transparency and compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates multiple analytics and marketing scripts, reflecting a baseline security posture. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no evidence of formal security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly concerning GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content analyzed. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies, and establish incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to improve security maturity and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the website to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to establish domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS and uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Hotjar for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices evidenced by Yoast SEO plugin usage and appropriate meta tags. Performance is moderate, with some deferred and lazy-loaded scripts to improve load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and compliance documentation are recommended to reduce risk and enhance operational resilience.
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.
