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

Natasha Michalowsky's website serves as a professional portfolio and consultancy platform focused on creative leadership, brand strategy, and marketing services. The site targets brands and companies seeking impactful storytelling and strategic marketing guidance. Built on Squarespace, the website demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and clear navigation, though it lacks comprehensive privacy and security policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, but the professional presentation and contact information suggest a legitimate business presence. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved with additional headers and policies. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures.

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. 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 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

    • 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

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

The business operates as a small consultancy or personal brand entity within the creative and marketing sector, serving a diverse client base including Fortune 500 companies and startups. The business model revolves around providing strategic and creative services to elevate brand impact. The website reflects a focused market positioning with a clear value proposition around creativity and strategic insight. There is no indication of revenue streams or parent/subsidiary relationships. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed. Growth indicators are not visible on the site. The lack of detailed business registrations or certifications limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, and there is no evidence of compliance with GDPR or other privacy frameworks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a gap in privacy compliance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, policies, and compliance disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance website security.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Include terms of service and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to gain insights while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS and hosting infrastructure. It uses Typekit fonts and embeds Vimeo videos for rich media content. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and moderate performance. SEO optimization is basic with essential meta tags present but lacks advanced SEO features. Accessibility features are minimal but present. There is no evidence of custom frameworks or complex backend technologies. The technical debt appears low given the use of a managed platform, but opportunities exist to enhance security and privacy configurations.
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.
