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

MSMedia is a small Estonian communication consultancy specializing in strategic communication, media relations, crisis communication, marketing, social-political communication, and training services. Founded in 2012, the company offers a communication manager rental service alongside other consulting and content creation offerings. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear service descriptions and active social media engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Revolution Slider and Yoast SEO, and it employs Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Cookie consent is implemented via CookieYes, supporting GDPR compliance, although no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled, but security headers are not explicitly detected. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business claims.

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

8 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

MSMedia operates in the media sector, targeting organizations across public, private, and third sectors in Estonia that require communication services. Its business model focuses on service-based consulting and rental of communication managers, providing integrated communication solutions tailored to client needs. The company maintains partnerships with various marketing, design, and research firms to offer comprehensive services. Market positioning is supported by long-term experience and a trusted reputation in the Estonian communication industry. The website content and social media presence reinforce credibility and professional outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, indicating a potential gap in security transparency. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business size but could be enhanced to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to enhance security transparency.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using PHP and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery. It employs popular plugins including Revolution Slider for visual content and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. The site uses Bootstrap 4.7 for responsive design and Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with some custom spacing scripts and lazy loading for images. Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, integrating a detailed consent mechanism. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Zone Media OÜ, ensuring consistency. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
