Marathon Studio is a Czech creative agency specializing in visual communication, brand strategy, web design, and consulting services. The company emphasizes long-term brand identity development and strategic design processes, targeting businesses seeking to enhance their brand presence. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and client testimonials, positioning them as a trusted small-sized agency in their market segment. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Hotjar. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, though the website content and social media presence support its credibility. Overall, the site scores well in content quality and privacy compliance but could improve in security posture and business contact transparency.

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 outside view
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
Critical
EU business without adequate privacy measures
EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements
What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures
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
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
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"
This scan found 26 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Marathon Studio operates as a small-sized creative agency focused on the Czech market, delivering services in brand strategy, web design, creative campaigns, graphic design, and consulting. Their business model centers on providing end-to-end visual communication solutions with an emphasis on strategic and long-term brand development rather than short-term effects. The company leverages a client-centric approach with structured processes and milestones. Their market position is supported by client testimonials and active social media engagement on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The lack of publicly available company registration or VAT information suggests a need for improved transparency. The agency does not appear to have subsidiaries or parent companies. Their digital presence is modern and professional, indicating a mature approach to online marketing and client engagement.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries, but the lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers for security or abuse reporting reduces incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative agency but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response contacts.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy page and consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving data protection regulations.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and analytics/tracking tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site loads resources from a CDN, improving performance and availability. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No hosting provider information is explicitly available from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. The technical stack is appropriate for a small creative agency, balancing ease of use and modern web standards.
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.
