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

LWND Kreativagentur GmbH is a small Austrian creative agency specializing in providing customized teams of specialists across various disciplines to drive brand success. The company positions itself as a modern and innovative agency with a strong focus on digital marketing, branding, campaigns, and UX design. Their website showcases a comprehensive portfolio of services, detailed case studies, and a professional team presentation, targeting brands and companies seeking tailored creative solutions. Technically, the website uses common web technologies such as jQuery, Swiper, and Google reCAPTCHA, hosted on Hetzner infrastructure. However, the site suffers from a critical security weakness due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which undermines user trust and data protection. DNS and email security configurations are properly implemented with SPF and DMARC policies. Overall, the website demonstrates excellent content quality and branding consistency but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and comply with best practices.

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. 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

LWND operates in the media sector as a creative agency offering a broad range of services including brand strategy, integrated campaigns, digital branding, video production, social media strategy, UX design, and eCommerce solutions. Their business model revolves around assembling customized teams tailored to client needs, emphasizing flexibility and specialist expertise. The company targets a diverse client base from small to large brands, as evidenced by their client portfolio including Allianz, BILLA, and win2day. The agency maintains a strong digital presence with active social media channels and detailed case studies highlighting successful projects. Their growth potential is supported by ongoing job postings and a clear focus on innovation and client success. Partnerships with major brands and a transparent presentation of team members enhance their market credibility.

Security posture

The current security posture of LWND's website is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. While DNS security measures such as SPF and DMARC are correctly configured, the missing TLS protocols and security headers represent significant vulnerabilities. No formal security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate spam on contact forms, and cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate remediation is necessary to protect user data and meet compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Configure and enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure legacy protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  5. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including jQuery, Swiper, Ion.RangeSlider, and Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection. It integrates multimedia content via Vimeo embeds and uses CSS3 and HTML5 for styling and layout. Hosting is provided by Hetzner, with DNS managed through their nameservers. Performance is suboptimal, with a high page size (~14.7 MB) and long load times (~19.6 seconds), likely due to numerous resources (438). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, but no structured JSON-LD data was detected. The absence of a CMS or framework is unclear. Technical debt includes missing SSL, lack of security headers, and potential for improved caching and resource optimization.
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.
