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

Inbound Elements is a small technology company specializing in the design and development of premium HubSpot templates, themes, and modules aimed at helping businesses and agencies scale their marketing efforts using HubSpot CMS. The company positions itself as a provider of high-quality, easy-to-use, and customizable HubSpot design assets, supported by a team of HubSpot certified experts. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality and clear navigation, targeting HubSpot users seeking premium marketing templates and themes. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Conversion Tracking, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. However, the site suffers from critical security shortcomings, including the absence of a valid SSL certificate, lack of HTTPS enforcement, and missing security headers, which significantly reduce its security posture. Privacy compliance is also weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, while the business model and content quality are strong, the technical and security deficiencies present notable risks that should be addressed promptly.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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
  • 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

Inbound Elements operates in the niche market of HubSpot template and theme development, catering primarily to businesses and agencies using HubSpot for marketing automation and website management. Their competitive advantage lies in offering premium, pixel-perfect, and easy-to-use templates developed by certified HubSpot experts. The company leverages partnerships with related design and template providers in the Webflow, Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, and HelpScout ecosystems, indicating a broad design resource network. Revenue streams likely include direct sales of templates and themes, as well as agency services for HubSpot development. The company emphasizes ongoing updates and support, which is critical for maintaining customer satisfaction and competitive positioning. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on inbound leads via contact forms. The company’s market presence is reinforced by mentions of media features and a professional online presence.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is currently weak. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support expose users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The missing security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) further increase vulnerability to common web attacks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. The absence of DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records reduces domain-level protection against spoofing and certificate mis-issuance. No incident response or security policy information is published, indicating limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. Overall, the site requires urgent remediation to meet basic web security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Configure DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security.
  6. Review and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy and security risks.
  7. Establish and publish an incident response policy and contact channels for security issues.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and several popular plugins for enhanced functionality and design. The tech stack includes FontAwesome for icons and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Twitter Conversion Tracking, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. Despite the rich feature set, the site suffers from slow load times (over 12 seconds) and a large page size (~743 KB) with many resources (206), indicating potential optimization opportunities. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS, but the lack of SSL undermines the security benefits. Technical debt is evident in the missing SSL and security headers, which should be prioritized for remediation to avoid operational and reputational risks.
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.
