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

4 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 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';…

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 17 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

The agency operates in the creative services sector, offering a wide range of branding and communication solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their interdisciplinary approach and long-standing experience since 1999. The business model focuses on project-based client engagements with a global reach. The website demonstrates a strong partnership ecosystem via social media channels and showcases numerous projects and awards, indicating healthy growth and market presence. However, the lack of visible contact emails and phone numbers on the homepage may limit direct client engagement. The agency's digital maturity is moderate to high, leveraging WordPress and analytics tools effectively.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could be a gap in security readiness. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is common but reduces transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with recommendations to enhance header policies and publish security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to enhance incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, Matomo for analytics, and Borlabs Cookie for cookie management. The theme and block plugins indicate a modern and modular design approach. Performance is moderate with responsive design and good accessibility features. The site uses video backgrounds and high-resolution images, which may impact load times but enhance user experience. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is well-suited for a creative agency but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
