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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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 positions itself as a specialized front-end engineering service provider with a comprehensive certification portfolio and active presence on multiple professional platforms. Its business model is freelance/consultancy with a focus on delivering high-quality digital experiences. The target market includes startups and agencies globally, leveraging modern technologies to maintain competitive advantage. The presence of testimonials and Trustpilot reviews indicates active reputation management. The business is small-sized and newly founded in 2026, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website content and structure support clear navigation and professional branding, enhancing market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents missed opportunities to harden security. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which could impact preparedness for security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small freelance business but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React and Next.js framework with TypeScript, optimized for SEO and performance. It uses Tailwind CSS for styling and includes progressive web application features. Hosting is provided by HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a reputable provider. The site loads quickly and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. Meta tags and structured data are well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, though WordPress is mentioned as a skill. The technical implementation reflects a high level of digital maturity with room for security enhancements.
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.
