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

Liquid Light is an established UK-based award-winning web design and digital agency with over 25 years of experience. They specialize in providing strategic digital services including product design, brand identity development, and ongoing website support. Their market position is strong within the technology sector, targeting businesses and organizations seeking professional digital solutions. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, clear navigation, and comprehensive service offerings supported by detailed case studies and client logos. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics (GA4), and Google ReCaptcha for security and analytics. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies are implemented in compliance with GDPR requirements. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses ReCaptcha to protect forms, and manages cookie consent effectively. However, it lacks publicly available security policies and incident response contacts, and security headers are not explicitly detected. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to a lookup error, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional presentation and business legitimacy evident on the site. Overall, Liquid Light presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence with strong business credibility and good security practices. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, enhancing security headers, and providing incident response information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Liquid Light operates as a specialized digital agency focusing on web design and digital transformation services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing industry experience, award-winning projects, and a comprehensive service portfolio that covers strategy, product design, branding, and ongoing support. The company targets medium to large organizations, including nonprofits and professional societies, as evidenced by their case studies. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing support agreements. The firm maintains a professional partnership ecosystem, including integrations with Google services and TYPO3 CMS. Growth indicators include a regularly updated blog and active social media presence. The company’s operations reflect a mature digital agency with a focus on quality and client trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google ReCaptcha to mitigate bot submissions. Cookie consent management aligns with GDPR compliance, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal documentation. Compliance gaps include lack of published security frameworks or certifications. Overall, the security posture is good but not comprehensive.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing data retention policies and security certifications if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and extensible open-source content management system. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes, and Google ReCaptcha for form security. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS with responsive design techniques ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JavaScript assets served. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site employs a service worker and manifest for progressive web app capabilities. Technical risks are minimal but include potential dependency on third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security through enhanced header configurations and regular dependency management.
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.
