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

Marshal Design is a Latvian creative agency specializing in advertising campaigns, graphic design, branding, audio and video production, and marketing strategy development. The company targets businesses seeking comprehensive creative and marketing services. The website presents a professional portfolio and client logos, indicating an established market presence since 2000. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, uses jQuery and Google services, and is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. The absence of WHOIS data limits full trust assessment. Overall, the site is functional and professional but could improve in privacy and security 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 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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';…

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

Marshal Design operates as a small-sized creative agency in the media sector, serving clients with branding, advertising, and production services. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on creative solutions. The presence of multiple client logos and a portfolio suggests a stable client base and market positioning. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Analytics and Tag Manager for insights. However, the lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies may affect compliance and user trust. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate risks like XSS and protocol downgrade attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a security.txt file and incident response contacts indicates limited readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing policies and consent mechanisms, which could pose regulatory risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including jQuery, Modernizr, and Google APIs for analytics and maps. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices. SEO is basic with proper meta tags but could be improved with structured data and enhanced accessibility. The use of Google Fonts and external scripts is standard but should be monitored for performance impact. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and 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.
