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

Ignition Creative is an independent entertainment marketing agency with offices in Los Angeles and London. The company specializes in uniting branding with entertainment marketing, targeting clients in the entertainment industry. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by modern web technologies and SEO best practices. The business operates primarily in the media sector and appears to be a small-sized agency with a focused service offering. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap, jQuery, and other modern libraries. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and is hosted on AWS CloudFront CDN, ensuring good performance and global reach. Mobile optimization and SEO are well addressed, though accessibility is basic. The site lacks some advanced security headers but enforces HTTPS, indicating a generally good security posture. From a security and compliance perspective, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance gap especially under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Contact information is clearly presented, including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses, enhancing business credibility. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were found. Overall, the website scores well on business credibility and technical implementation but needs improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and establishing vulnerability disclosure channels to enhance trust and compliance.

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

      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"

    • 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';…

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

Ignition Creative positions itself as a fiercely creative independent agency in the entertainment marketing space, serving clients primarily in the media and entertainment sectors. The company leverages a dual-location presence in Los Angeles and London to access key markets. Their business model focuses on branding and marketing services tailored to entertainment clients, likely generating revenue through project-based engagements and retainers. The website's professional design and social media integration suggest a mature digital presence. However, the absence of detailed business registration or founding year limits deeper business intelligence. The company appears to maintain a lean operation with a focus on creative excellence and client engagement rather than large-scale enterprise operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager is standard for analytics but requires regular auditing to avoid third-party risks. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small agency but would benefit from implementing recommended best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and uses Yoast SEO Premium for search engine optimization. Hosting is via AWS CloudFront CDN, which supports fast content delivery. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile optimized. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content.
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.
