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

Local Digital Services is a small digital marketing service provider specializing in building marketing engines for home services businesses. The company emphasizes simple pricing and strategic brand positioning to help local service professionals stand out online. The website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins, hosted on HostWP, and employs standard web technologies such as jQuery and FontAwesome. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and clear navigation, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the site presents a professional image with moderate trustworthiness and no signs of malicious content.

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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 business targets everyday home service professionals who struggle to get noticed online. It offers website design, content marketing, and copywriting services tailored to this niche. The founder, Todd, has 15 years of digital marketing experience and prefers working with small service business owners. The business model is service-based with a focus on simplicity and transparency in pricing. The website includes a blog with recent articles, enhancing content marketing efforts. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears to be a standalone small business with a clear market niche and growth potential in local digital marketing.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected, representing a missed opportunity to harden security. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site lacks a security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.
  4. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit plugins and themes for vulnerabilities and keep all software up to date.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Beaver Builder plugin, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. It uses jQuery and FontAwesome for UI elements and Google Fonts for typography. Hosting is provided by HostWP, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. There is no evidence of advanced frameworks beyond WordPress plugins. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a small business website but could be enhanced with additional security and privacy features.
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.
