NIS2 Art. 21(2)

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

    • High

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 company operates a service-based business model focusing on creative design solutions for businesses and organizations. Their market positioning is strengthened by their long-standing presence, family ownership, and award recognition. They provide white label services, indicating partnerships with other agencies. The target customers are businesses seeking comprehensive design and marketing services in Northern Ireland. The company leverages social media and online portfolios to showcase their work and attract clients. The business appears stable with a moderate digital presence and a focus on quality and customer service.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration, ensuring secure data transmission. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit GDPR compliance indicators suggests room for improvement in privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from implementing additional headers and privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance website security.
  3. Publish a clear GDPR compliance statement and update privacy policy accordingly.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Adobe Muse, a static site generator, which limits dynamic content and CMS capabilities but ensures stability. The tech stack includes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery 1.8.3, along with Google Analytics for tracking. The site is hosted by BWF Hosting Ltd, a UK-based provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but could be enhanced with structured data and improved semantic markup. The site uses embedded YouTube videos and MuseShop widgets for additional functionality. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
