APERITIF is a small creative studio based in Spain specializing in design, creativity, strategy, advertising, and illustration services. The website showcases a professional portfolio targeting brands, businesses, and individuals worldwide who value high-quality creative work. The company maintains an active social media presence across major platforms, reinforcing its market position as a niche creative agency. Technically, the website is built on the Portfoliobox CMS platform, leveraging AngularJS and jQuery, hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, and includes Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance documentation. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable concern, reducing domain trustworthiness despite the professional site content. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security policies, and transparent contact information.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The business operates as a creative agency offering a portfolio of projects primarily in design and advertising. Its competitive advantage lies in its creative expertise and international client focus. The business model appears service-based with a focus on project delivery and brand development. The target customer segment includes brands and businesses seeking creative solutions. Growth indicators include a diverse project portfolio and active social media engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified. The company maintains a consistent brand image and content quality is good, supporting its credibility in the creative sector.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no evidence of a formal security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. Privacy compliance is weak, with no privacy or cookie policies detected, which may expose the business to GDPR compliance risks. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative agency website but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data collection.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance website security.
Publish clear contact information including company email and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using Portfoliobox CMS with AngularJS and jQuery libraries, hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. Google Fonts and Google Analytics are integrated for typography and analytics respectively. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web technologies, though AngularJS is an older framework which may pose modernization opportunities. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with ARIA roles and semantic HTML enhancements. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include the use of outdated frameworks and lack of advanced security headers.
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.
