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

Margins is a specialized Webflow design and development agency focused on delivering detailed, custom web solutions including integrations, animations, and web apps. Their market position is that of a trusted Webflow partner with a strong portfolio and client testimonials, targeting businesses and agencies seeking professional website services. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, Typekit, GSAP for animations, and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Mouseflow, hosted on Webflow's platform with fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks formal security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-structured, though improvements in privacy and security transparency are recommended.

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. 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 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Margins operates as a small technology service provider specializing in Webflow-based website design and development. Their business model is project-based with options for ongoing support retainers. They maintain a competitive advantage through their Webflow partnership, expertise in custom integrations, and animation capabilities. Their target customers are businesses and agencies requiring high-quality, custom web solutions. The company demonstrates growth potential through a diverse service offering and a portfolio showcasing reputable clients. Partnerships include Webflow and use of third-party analytics and font providers. The company maintains consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing credibility in their niche market.

Security posture

Margins exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. The website uses HTTPS and defers scripts to optimize performance and security. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism, potentially exposing the company to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with formal policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen web security.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy protections.
  4. Consider adding phone contact information to improve customer trust and accessibility.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and best practices.

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS and hosted on Webflow's platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Typekit, GSAP for animations, and analytics tools including Google Analytics and Mouseflow. The site demonstrates fast loading times, excellent mobile responsiveness, and good accessibility features. The use of deferred and async scripts optimizes performance. However, the absence of certain security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. The site architecture is well-organized with clear navigation and professional design, supporting a positive user experience. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated technologies, suggesting a modern and maintainable infrastructure.
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.
