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

7 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 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';…

  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

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

HDG operates in the creative agency sector, targeting companies seeking branding and design consultancy services. The business model is service-oriented, delivering integrated creative solutions. The company benefits from a long domain history and a parent company relationship with HDG Group, indicating stability and growth potential. The website's content quality and SEO optimization support strong market positioning. The presence of multiple social media channels and a professional portfolio enhances brand visibility and client engagement. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via web forms. The company demonstrates quality management through ISO certification and compliance with privacy regulations, positioning it well in competitive markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Iubenda. Use of Matomo analytics indicates a privacy-conscious approach. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. Incident response contact information is not publicly available, which could hinder rapid vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure for its business purpose but would benefit from enhanced header policies and a published vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information, possibly via a security.txt file, to improve security transparency and responsiveness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable components are included.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies regularly to stay compliant with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for UI components, and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses Matomo and Google Analytics for traffic analysis, balancing privacy and marketing needs. The site is multilingual via WPML plugin, supporting English, Italian, and Chinese. Performance is moderate with CDN usage for some assets but could be improved with further optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, indicating good maintenance practices. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNSSEC and HTTPS indicate a secure hosting environment.
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.
