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

Mouth Media Inc. is a Toronto-based web design and development agency specializing in custom website design, WordPress development, ecommerce solutions, and accessibility-compliant websites. The company serves businesses and organizations primarily in Toronto and Canada, with a portfolio that includes recognizable brands and a strong emphasis on accessibility standards such as AODA, ADA, and WCAG 2.0. Their business model focuses on providing tailored digital and print media design services to a diverse clientele, positioning themselves as a reliable and professional agency in the local market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern technologies including PHP, JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, supported by plugins like Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and security headers. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA on its contact form, indicating attention to basic security practices. However, there is a lack of explicit security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy compliance indicators suggest areas for improvement in regulatory adherence. Overall, Mouth Media presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for small agencies and does not detract from the legitimacy of the business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and publishing incident response information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

6 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 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

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

Mouth Media operates as a small, specialized agency in the technology sector, focusing on web design and development with a strong niche in accessibility and custom solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their portfolio of high-profile clients and compliance with accessibility standards, appealing to organizations requiring inclusive digital experiences. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through project-based engagements. The target customer segments include cultural institutions, small to medium enterprises, and organizations needing custom CMS and ecommerce integrations. Growth indicators include a diverse client base and multilingual website support. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes collaborations with marketing agencies. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining technical excellence and expanding compliance capabilities to capture larger market segments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness for security events. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is minimal, with no cookie consent banner or detailed privacy practices visible. The security culture appears basic but functional, suitable for a small agency. Enhancements in security policies, header implementation, and compliance mechanisms would significantly improve the security maturity and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Develop and publish a clear privacy and cookie policy with an explicit consent mechanism to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Establish and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process, potentially via a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure secure integrations.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve loading speed and user experience, especially on mobile devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress platform with a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, and popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and WPML for multilingual support. It integrates marketing and analytics tools like Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, adhering to recognized standards. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource loading. The absence of certain security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the infrastructure is solid for a small agency but would benefit from modernization efforts focused on security hardening and privacy compliance.
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.
