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

Jeremy Carlson is an independent graphic and web designer based in Louisville, Colorado, offering services such as website design, branding, and custom signage. The website serves as a portfolio and contact point for potential clients, targeting small businesses and local organizations. The business model is service-oriented with a niche focus on design and branding solutions. The domain is well-established since 1999, indicating a long-standing presence in the market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern web technologies including PHP, JavaScript, and CSS. It is hosted by GreenGeeks and uses HTTPS for secure communication. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking services are detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended to enhance security posture. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. Overall, the website is functional and moderately secure but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security headers, and clearer contact information to increase trust and professionalism.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…
  2. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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
  • 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

Jeremy Carlson operates as a small independent design business with a focus on local clientele in Louisville, Colorado. The business leverages a portfolio website to showcase work and attract clients. The market positioning is niche and local, with competitive advantages including personalized service and a long-established domain. Revenue streams likely come from design projects and branding services. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website, and there are no indications of subsidiaries or parent companies. Growth indicators are limited due to minimal content and lack of marketing tools. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital presence and improve compliance to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection in place. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies and absence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Data protection practices are minimal, with no visible analytics or tracking. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of contact channels for security issues. The security culture appears informal, typical for a small independent business.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security.txt file or a dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails or phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Gutenberg block editor, with standard web technologies such as PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. Hosting is provided by GreenGeeks, a reputable hosting provider. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile optimized with basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced SEO techniques observed. There is no evidence of analytics or marketing tools, indicating low technical complexity and minimal technical debt. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve compliance-related technical implementations.
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.
