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

Nepa is a marketing research company focused on helping brands unlock growth through actionable insights derived from data. The company positions itself as a strategic partner that transforms marketing research into business impact. The website reflects a mature and professional business with a clear focus on marketing research services. The target audience includes brands and businesses seeking data-driven growth strategies. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme and enhanced with performance tools like NitroPack. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js and UberMenu for UI components, and integrates analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and Hotjar. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO practices evident in metadata and structured data. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain registration is stable and consistent with the business profile. However, there are gaps in security best practices such as missing security headers and lack of visible privacy, cookie, and incident response policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Nepa operates in the marketing research sector, providing insights and strategies to brands for growth. The company has a long-standing domain registration dating back to 1994, indicating established market presence. Its business model revolves around delivering data-driven marketing research services. The website targets business clients looking for actionable insights to improve marketing effectiveness. The presence of LinkedIn and YouTube profiles suggests active engagement in professional and social media channels. The company appears medium-sized based on website sophistication and service scope. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies. The website content is consistent and professionally branded, supporting a credible market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized deletion or transfer. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, limiting transparency for security issues. Analytics tools used include Google Tag Manager and Hotjar, which require proper privacy management. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, privacy policies, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve web security.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with clear contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure they comply with privacy and security best practices.

Hosting and DNS are managed via Squarespace Domains and Google Cloud DNS respectively, indicating reliable infrastructure.

Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement advanced security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and well-maintained.
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.
