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. 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. 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: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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

  4. 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

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

The company operates as a service provider in the technology sector, focusing on digital marketing and web development. Its market positioning is supported by a portfolio of client projects and an active blog, indicating ongoing engagement and content freshness. The business model revolves around offering comprehensive web agency services including social media marketing, web consulting, and hosting. The target customers are primarily businesses seeking to improve their online visibility and digital marketing effectiveness. The company maintains a consistent brand presence across multiple social media platforms and uses professional marketing tools. No parent company or subsidiaries are indicated, suggesting an independent small business. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's stated history, reinforcing legitimacy. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a preference for contact via web forms, which may impact direct customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of trusted plugins and no visible exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. The site does not appear to use a Web Application Firewall or other advanced blocking mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small web agency but could be enhanced with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to minimize vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information such as verified company emails and phone numbers to improve customer trust and engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern responsive design using the Foundation framework. It leverages common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and integrates SEO optimization via Yoast SEO plugin. Cookie management and GDPR compliance are handled by Borlabs Cookie plugin. Google Tag Manager and MailChimp are used for analytics and marketing automation. The site loads external resources such as Google Fonts and social media icons from trusted domains. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is typical for a small professional web agency and supports their business operations effectively. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the data.
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.
