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

Hummingbirds the Hybrid Agency is a small, multidisciplinary independent lead agency based in Sweden, specializing in brand strategy, design, and communication with over 20 years of experience. The company targets businesses seeking to build strong, consistent brands through insightful strategies and creative execution. Their website showcases a professional portfolio of case studies featuring notable clients and multimedia presentations, reflecting a solid market position in the media and branding sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and SEO optimization, providing a good user experience and mobile responsiveness. However, some technical improvements are recommended, such as adding security headers and enhancing accessibility features. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but the absence of security policies and incident response contacts is a gap. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which should be addressed to meet GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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 agency operates in the media sector, offering comprehensive branding services including brand strategy, concept development, identity creation, communication, and packaging design. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored branding solutions to clients, supported by a strong portfolio of case studies that demonstrate their expertise and creative approach. The company leverages social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn for marketing and client engagement. The domain age of over 20 years aligns with their claimed experience, enhancing credibility. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified for a small agency. No suspicious patterns or inconsistencies were found between the domain registration and website content. The agency appears well-positioned in its niche with a clear value proposition and professional digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Vimeo is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is lacking, with no privacy or cookie policies found, posing potential regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved by implementing recommended best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Include a security policy and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.7, utilizing the Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and Alpine.js and AOS for interactive and animated UI elements. Vimeo is used extensively for video content delivery. The site loads CSS and JS assets from CDN providers like jsdelivr.net and unpkg.com, which supports performance optimization. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive video elements. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Performance is moderate, with some very large iframe sizes noted in Vimeo embeds which might impact load times. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from performance tuning and accessibility improvements.
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.
