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

Horn Media is a Norwegian digital marketing agency specializing in serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with tailored marketing strategies including SEO, Google Ads, web design, and social media marketing. Positioned as a leading agency in Oslo, Horn Media boasts over 700 satisfied customers and a high customer rating of 4.9 out of 5. Their business model focuses on delivering comprehensive marketing plans rather than isolated services, aiming to increase client profitability through smarter investments and customer development. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform and integrates modern marketing and analytics technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs a robust cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, the overall posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The lack of public WHOIS data suggests privacy protection for the domain registration, which is common and justified for this business type. Overall, Horn Media presents a professional, trustworthy, and compliant digital presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The main risk lies in the absence of publicly available WHOIS data, but this is mitigated by the transparency and quality of the website content and services offered.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Horn Media targets the Norwegian SMB market with a full-service digital marketing offering, differentiating itself by providing strategic, integrated marketing plans rather than piecemeal services. Their competitive advantage lies in their customer-centric approach, proven profitability within 12 months for clients, and strong reputation evidenced by high ratings and testimonials. Revenue streams likely include service fees for SEO, paid ads management, web development, and consulting. The company leverages partnerships with major ad platforms and analytics providers to enhance service delivery. Growth indicators include a large client base and active career page indicating expansion. The business ecosystem includes integrations with marketing technology vendors and account-based marketing tools like Inzynk.

Security posture

Horn Media demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security certifications are not publicly disclosed, representing areas for improvement. GDPR compliance is well addressed through Cookiebot. The security culture appears mature but could benefit from published policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Verify and implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing a detailed privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from all pages.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant security certifications to boost trust.

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.
