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

Lavva Digital Agency is a Portugal-based creative digital agency specializing in branding, website design, and digital activation services. Established in 2015, the agency has built a strong market position with a portfolio of award-winning projects and a focus on delivering innovative digital experiences to ambitious companies. Their services include brand identity, UX design, web development, marketing consultancy, and SEO, targeting a diverse range of industries including technology, energy, hospitality, and healthcare. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack using Next.js and React, optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. The site employs Google reCAPTCHA v3 for form security and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy compliance practices. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a professional user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and implements best practices such as secure forms and consent management. However, explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response contacts are absent, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, Lavva Digital Agency presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic enhancements in security policy transparency and additional security headers would further strengthen their security posture.

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

2 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

Lavva Digital Agency operates as a small-sized, essential entity in the digital creative services sector, focusing on branding and web development. Their competitive advantage lies in their award-winning portfolio, client testimonials, and a comprehensive service offering that blends creativity with technology. The agency targets ambitious companies across multiple sectors, including technology, energy, hospitality, and healthcare, indicating a diversified client base. Their business model revolves around project-based creative services with digital activation and marketing consultancy as value-added offerings. The presence of global recognitions and a consistent brand identity supports their market positioning as a premium digital agency. The company maintains active engagement through social media channels and newsletter subscriptions, fostering client relationships and brand awareness.

Security posture

Lavva Digital Agency demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR compliance requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web application against common web attacks. No public security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which could limit transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional HTTP security headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React-based framework, Next.js, which supports server-side rendering and static site generation for improved performance and SEO. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 indicates attention to form security. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. No common CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management approach. The presence of multiple JavaScript chunks and deferred loading scripts indicates an advanced front-end architecture. SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags are properly configured, supporting social media sharing and search engine indexing. Cookie consent is managed via CookieScript, a third-party consent management platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and aligned with best practices, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
