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. 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

  2. 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
    • 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

Mediafacts.com operates in the niche market research sector focused on the Baltic region, providing valuable consumer and market insights. Its competitive advantage lies in regional specialization and a comprehensive catalog of reports. The e-commerce model via Shopify enables streamlined sales and content delivery. The company targets business clients requiring data-driven market intelligence. The presence of social media and privacy compliance indicates a mature digital marketing approach. The domain age and consistent WHOIS data support business credibility. Partnerships appear limited to Shopify and related service providers, with no detected subsidiaries or parent companies beyond AS Emor. Growth potential exists through expanding report offerings and enhancing digital marketing. Security and compliance gaps, such as lack of published incident response and security policies, represent areas for strategic improvement to build further trust with enterprise clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information. The use of CAPTCHA on forms and cookie consent mechanisms align with best practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy limits the security maturity. No evidence of incident response readiness or published security policies reduces transparency. The site uses third-party scripts from trusted sources but should regularly audit these for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and expanding security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the business.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update as needed.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Shopify's robust e-commerce platform with the Debut theme, ensuring a modern and responsive design. The tech stack includes JavaScript libraries for analytics and user interaction, with lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Hosting on Shopify's CDN provides reliable uptime and moderate to fast loading speeds. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and skip links are implemented, improving usability for assistive technologies. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. The site uses standard web technologies without custom backend components, reducing complexity but limiting customization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid, with opportunities to improve security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
