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

gskinner is a well-established digital innovation company founded in 2002, specializing in creating world-class applications, digital experiences, virtual reality, and web-based solutions. The company targets smart, motivated clients primarily in technology, sports, and entertainment sectors. Their business model focuses on delivering innovative, customized digital products and tools, supported by a strong portfolio and industry recognition. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design and clear communication of services and expertise. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, CreateJS libraries, and Bootstrap framework. Hosting is provided by DreamHost, and the site integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks visible security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled. There is no published privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which poses compliance risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with standard best practices. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious activity or content safety concerns. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to improve compliance and trust. Enhancing accessibility and performance would also benefit user experience and SEO.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

gskinner holds a strong market position as a creative technology service provider with over 20 years of experience. Their competitive advantage lies in their innovation, technical expertise, and a diverse portfolio including VR, native apps, and web solutions. Revenue streams likely come from client projects and custom software development. The target customer segment includes technology companies, sports organizations, and entertainment brands seeking cutting-edge digital experiences. Growth indicators include ongoing collaborations with major brands and a visible career section indicating team expansion. The partnership ecosystem includes Google and Microsoft, as evidenced by project showcases. Operationally, the company emphasizes collaboration, quality delivery, and continuous skill development.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers, DNSSEC, and published security policies indicates gaps in defense-in-depth and compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of contact channels for security issues. GDPR compliance is not demonstrably addressed, with no privacy or cookie policies found. The security culture appears informal with room for improvement in transparency and formalized security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website infrastructure is built on a solid foundation of modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and popular libraries such as jQuery and CreateJS. The use of Bootstrap aids responsive design. Hosting on DreamHost is reliable but performance is moderate, suggesting potential optimization opportunities. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature approach to data collection. No CMS was detected, implying a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to certain attacks. There is no indication of technical debt or deprecated technologies, but accessibility and SEO could be further enhanced.
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.
