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.

Priority findings

4 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 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 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

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

Milk Bar Marketing positions itself as a hyper-local digital marketing consultancy targeting small businesses in the Manningham region. Their competitive advantage lies in combining local market knowledge with offshore development cost savings, enabling affordable yet effective marketing solutions. The agency emphasizes a growth-driven design approach and strategic planning to deliver measurable ROI. Revenue streams are project-based with options for retainers. Partnerships with WordPress management and Salesforce service providers indicate a broader ecosystem engagement. The company’s client portfolio includes local service businesses, reinforcing its community-centric approach. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content marketing. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance privacy compliance and security posture to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, indicating limited formal security governance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is incomplete due to missing cookie consent mechanisms, which may pose regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. Incident response readiness appears minimal with no dedicated security contact channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain secure operations.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Bricks Builder framework, which supports responsive design and SEO-friendly markup. Hosting utilizes Cloudflare DNS services, enhancing DNS reliability and security. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics, indicating a mature approach to data collection. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading improving page speed. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses structured data extensively for local business and organization schema, improving search engine visibility. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represent modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
