49/100

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

Loud Mouth Media is a professional digital marketing agency specializing in PPC, SEO, social media, performance creative, and email marketing services. The company operates with offices in Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin, and London, positioning itself as an award-winning agency focused on delivering measurable growth for its clients. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and a clear business focus on digital advertising solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Klaviyo. The site employs HTTPS and Cloudflare bot management, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent is actively managed with a detailed consent banner and categorized cookie disclosures, supporting GDPR compliance efforts. Security-wise, while HTTPS and bot management are in place, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which impacts overall trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content provided. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a digital marketing agency but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies, as well as verification of domain registration details to improve credibility 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Loud Mouth Media operates in the competitive digital marketing sector, targeting businesses seeking specialized PPC, SEO, and social media advertising services. Their award-winning status and multiple office locations suggest a medium-sized agency with regional influence in the UK and Ireland. The business model focuses on delivering targeted digital advertising campaigns and performance creative solutions, leveraging data analytics and marketing automation tools. The presence of client logos and social media engagement indicates active client relationships and a strong marketing ecosystem. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of explicit contact information on the site may limit trust for new prospects. The company appears to prioritize growth-driven marketing strategies and uses a variety of third-party tools to optimize campaign performance and client reporting.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare bot management active. Cookie consent management is comprehensive, with detailed cookie categories and user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate spam and bot attacks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense in depth. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure programs are evident. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, as it impairs domain trustworthiness and may indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add a terms of service page detailing user rights and obligations.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with the Avada child theme and uses popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Mailchimp and Klaviyo for marketing automation. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics. The site loads multiple external scripts from trusted domains, including social media platforms and marketing services. Performance is moderate with some optimization possible. Mobile responsiveness is good, and accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses Cloudflare for bot management and CDN services, enhancing security and performance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from additional security hardening and privacy transparency.
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.
