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

Huncwot is an established award-winning digital agency specializing in crafting custom digital experiences for organizations and brands. Their portfolio includes prestigious clients such as Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Obama Foundation, highlighting their strong market position and expertise in strategy, branding, design, development, and AI integration. The website showcases high-quality content with excellent design and user experience, reflecting a mature and professional digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern web standards and Google Analytics for tracking, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks published security policies and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Huncwot operates as a medium-sized digital agency focused on technology and media sectors, delivering high-end digital product design and development services. Their business model centers on client collaborations to create bespoke digital experiences, leveraging AI and animation. The agency has a strong reputation supported by awards and notable clients, indicating competitive advantages in creativity and technical execution. Their partnership ecosystem includes academic institutions and cultural organizations, reflecting a strategic focus on impactful projects. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio and ongoing collaborations with prestigious clients. The company’s operations emphasize innovation and quality, positioning them well within the digital agency market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, there are notable gaps such as the absence of published privacy, cookie, security, and incident response policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No security headers or vulnerability disclosures were detected, and no forms are present to assess input security. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, posing privacy compliance risks. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure channel limits transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, significant improvements are needed to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and a dedicated security policy page to enhance transparency and legal coverage.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Provide incident response contact information, such as a security or abuse email address, to demonstrate readiness and accountability.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and security headers to improve user experience and security defenses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies, with asynchronous loading of Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses SVG and video elements for rich media content. Hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the business age. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized images. However, there is no detected CMS or framework, suggesting a custom or static site approach. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were identified from the provided data, but the absence of security headers and privacy controls indicates areas for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
