Performance is fast, and SEO practices are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes key security headers, indicating good baseline security hygiene.

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

7 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 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 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

    • 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

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

Midnight operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on web development for creative and design teams. Their competitive advantage lies in their client-facing approach and ability to integrate seamlessly with design agencies and in-house teams. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based web development services and ongoing technology partnerships. The company targets creative professionals and agencies seeking high-end digital experiences. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio of high-profile clients and active content publication. The partnership ecosystem is robust, featuring collaborations with recognized brands and agencies. Operationally, Midnight emphasizes quality, accessibility, and innovation in web technology.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a published privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, and vulnerability disclosure process indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR and user privacy transparency. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could delay mitigation in case of security incidents. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js frameworks, supported by Contentful CMS for content management. The use of Emotion CSS and Normalize.css contributes to consistent styling and cross-browser compatibility. The site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility practices observed. The infrastructure appears well-maintained with no technical debt indicators visible in the source. Opportunities for modernization include adding structured data for enhanced SEO and integrating analytics for better user insights. Technical risks are minimal but should be monitored through regular security audits.
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.
