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

Hedea is a small Polish advertising agency based in Płock, specializing in responsive website development, online stores, SEO, and advertising printing services. The company has approximately 10 years of experience and targets local businesses and individuals seeking digital marketing and web solutions. Their website is built on Joomla CMS and incorporates various JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, MooTools, Bootstrap, and Semantic UI. Cookiebot is used to manage cookie consent, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, some frontend forms are currently disabled or misconfigured, which may impact user interaction and lead generation. The site is accessible over HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks some modern security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries that could pose security risks. No explicit contact emails or phone numbers are present on the site, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website is professional, well-branded, and compliant with privacy regulations, but technical and security improvements are recommended.

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 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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Hedea operates as a local technology service provider focusing on web development and digital marketing in the Płock region. Their business model centers on delivering customized websites, e-commerce platforms, SEO services, and print advertising solutions. The presence of client logos and a decade of activity indicate a stable market position with a trusted client base. The company leverages partnerships with local businesses and service providers, as evidenced by external linked domains. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing SEO and hosting services. The lack of visible contact details on the website may hinder customer acquisition and support. Strategic growth could involve enhancing online presence, improving user engagement via functional contact forms, and expanding service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.11.1 and MooTools introduces potential vulnerabilities. Disabled frontend forms may indicate misconfiguration or security hardening but also reduce functionality. No evidence of incident response policies or security certifications was found. To improve security maturity, the company should update libraries, implement comprehensive security headers, fix form availability issues, and consider publishing security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Fix and enable frontend forms to ensure secure and functional user data collection.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries and Joomla CMS to the latest secure versions.
  3. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a combination of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.11.1, MooTools, Bootstrap, and Semantic UI. Cookiebot is integrated for cookie management and GDPR compliance. The site uses responsive design techniques and is mobile optimized. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement by updating libraries and optimizing assets. Accessibility features are basic, with room for enhancement. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from 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.
