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 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

  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
  • 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, providing digital marketing and campaign optimization services primarily to businesses across over 150 industries. Their business model focuses on optimizing digital campaigns rather than products, leveraging data-driven insights and proprietary tools such as a digital analysis tool offered via their website. Revenue streams likely include consulting, media buying, and digital campaign management. The target customer segments are medium to large businesses seeking to improve brand awareness, engagement, and lead generation. The company benefits from a strong parent company relationship with Gray Media, Inc., enhancing credibility and market reach. Partnerships and integrations with platforms like Vimeo and The Trade Desk indicate a robust ecosystem supporting their service delivery. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy compliance and security transparency to maintain competitive advantage and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

Gray Digital Media demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced across the site and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of an explicit security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR is partial, as a privacy policy is present but no cookie consent mechanism is implemented despite the use of tracking and advertising scripts. Recommendations include implementing security headers, adding incident response contacts, and deploying cookie consent banners to improve compliance and security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking scripts.
  4. Publish an explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, GSAP for animations, Vimeo for video content, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO practices such as meta tags and structured data. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration via GoDaddy is noted. The site lacks a CMS indication, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance could be improved by optimizing third-party scripts and implementing advanced caching strategies. Accessibility is basic and could benefit from enhancements to meet WCAG standards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience but has room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
