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

Myriad Media, Inc. is a small, established multimedia communications agency founded in 1997, specializing in the intersection of design, technology, and strategy. They serve a diverse clientele including private sector companies, government agencies, educational institutions, and nonprofits. Their key services include graphic design, custom application development, content management, responsive websites, branding, UX/UI design, and IoT solutions. The company holds relevant certifications such as 8(a) and Virginia SWaM, positioning them well for government contracting opportunities. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, jQuery, and various JavaScript libraries for UI enhancements. The presence of Sitefinity CMS and ASP.NET C# in portfolio descriptions suggests a robust backend infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and demonstrates good design and navigation, though accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. Hosting appears to be supported by AWS DNS services. From a security perspective, the domain is well-established with a long registration history and clientTransferProhibited status, indicating domain transfer protection. However, the site lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The contact information is clearly presented, including a company email and phone number, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business credibility and technical implementation. Privacy compliance and security posture require enhancement to meet modern standards. There are no indications of adult or questionable content, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms interfere with content accessibility.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. 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

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

Myriad Media operates as a boutique agency with a strong referral-based business model, serving a mix of government, education, nonprofit, and private sector clients. Their certifications and long domain age support their credibility in government contracting. The company emphasizes client satisfaction and long-term partnerships, supported by testimonials and a broad portfolio of services. Their market position is that of a specialized, experienced provider with a focus on multimedia and technology integration. The absence of advertising and tracking tools suggests a focus on direct client engagement rather than broad marketing campaigns.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers and has a long registration history, which is positive. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The site uses HTTPS (implied but not confirmed in HTML), but no explicit SSL configuration details are available. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident, which could hinder timely handling of security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and communicate an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Conduct an accessibility audit and improve SEO optimizations to enhance user experience and search visibility.

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI libraries such as Slick Slider and Isotope for layout and interactivity. Fonts are loaded from Typekit and Google Fonts, ensuring good typography. The backend technologies mentioned include ASP.NET C# and Sitefinity CMS, indicating a Microsoft-based hosting environment. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has clear navigation. However, there is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking, which may limit marketing insights. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC are technical risks that should be addressed.
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.
