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

Magnet is a well-established full-service digital marketing agency founded in 2004 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company specializes in building high-converting websites and full-funnel marketing systems that combine search engine optimization, paid media, and outbound strategies to grow client pipelines. Their market position is strong, supported by a portfolio of case studies, client testimonials, and a 5-star aggregate rating from 37 reviews. Magnet targets businesses seeking comprehensive digital growth solutions, offering services including website development, ecommerce, SEO, PPC, and growth marketing. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern technologies such as GSAP for animations, Google Tag Manager, and Apollo.io for analytics and tracking. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and good SEO practices. Performance is fast, and accessibility considerations are evident, though there is room for improvement in explicit security headers and privacy compliance disclosures. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and mentions security best practices like multi-factor authentication and regular audits. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Magnet presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature digital presence. The main risks relate to privacy compliance gaps and the absence of explicit security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include publishing privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process to enhance 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

8 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 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 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

      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

Magnet operates as a medium-sized digital marketing agency focused on the US market, with over two decades of experience. Their competitive advantage lies in their integrated approach combining web design, SEO, paid media, and outbound marketing under one roof. Revenue streams likely include project-based website development, ongoing marketing campaigns, and consulting services. The target customer segments are businesses seeking to scale lead generation and improve digital marketing ROI. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including LinkedIn and Google advertising platforms. Strategic observations highlight their emphasis on client success stories, data-driven marketing, and a culture of craftsmanship and excellence.

Security posture

Magnet demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and mentions of multi-factor authentication, backups, and regular audits. However, the absence of explicit security headers and publicly available security policies indicates room for improvement. There is no evidence of a published incident response plan or vulnerability disclosure program. Data protection practices appear adequate but could benefit from greater transparency. Overall, the security culture is positive but would be strengthened by formalizing and publishing security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Implement and disclose a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and security contact channels to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern, scalable infrastructure using Webflow CMS and integrates advanced JavaScript libraries like GSAP for animations. It employs Google Tag Manager and Apollo.io for analytics and tracking, indicating a data-driven approach. Performance is optimized with fast loading times and mobile responsiveness. Accessibility is considered, though further enhancements could be made. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible outdated or vulnerable libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation to reduce technical risks.
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.
