Risk levelMedium

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

NightCat Studios is a small creative studio established in 2019, offering multidirectional creative services. The website is currently under major reconstruction and displays minimal content, primarily a maintenance message with contact information and social media links. The company targets creative professionals and clients seeking creative studio services. Technically, the website uses modern technologies such as React and Google Tag Manager, hosted via Cloudflare, but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy and compliance policies are absent, reducing trust and compliance levels. Overall, the website is functional but incomplete, with room for significant improvements in content, security, 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

10 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 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

NightCat Studios operates in the creative services sector with a niche market position as a multidirectional creative studio. The business model focuses on providing creative solutions, likely targeting small to medium clients. The domain age aligns with the founding year, indicating consistency. The company maintains an active social media presence on platforms like X (Twitter), Instagram, Bluesky, and Discord, which supports community engagement. However, the lack of detailed business information, certifications, or trust indicators limits the perceived credibility. Growth potential exists but depends on completing the website and enhancing digital presence.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is properly configured, and domain transfer protection is enabled, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could hinder timely handling of security events. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR. No forms or inputs reduce attack surface but also limit user interaction. Overall, security practices need enhancement to meet industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Develop and display an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.
  5. Complete website content with professional design and navigation to improve user experience and business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, indicating a modern JavaScript framework usage. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing reliable infrastructure and HTTPS support. Performance is moderate given the minimal content and static maintenance page. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with no explicit features detected. SEO optimization is minimal, with only basic meta tags and Open Graph tags present. No CMS or backend platform is identified. The site lacks advanced technical configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture.
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.
