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

Ocean Power Ltd is a small, Gibraltar-based B2B digital marketing agency specializing in full-cycle online marketing services including SEO, web design, development, content marketing, social media marketing, and reputation management. The company positions itself as a leading agency with a professional global team and a portfolio of over 130 branded websites launched. Their website is built on WordPress, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. Hosting is provided by Hostinger, and the site demonstrates good design quality, user experience, and SEO optimization. Security-wise, the site has a valid SSL certificate but lacks modern TLS protocol support and advanced security headers like HSTS. There is no cookie consent mechanism or detailed security and incident response policies visible. Privacy policy is present but basic, and GDPR compliance is not explicitly addressed. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve its security posture and compliance 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. 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

  3. 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

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 · 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

Ocean Power operates in the technology sector as a digital marketing agency targeting businesses seeking comprehensive online marketing solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering multi-service campaigns including SEO, web development, and reputation management. The company demonstrates a strong market position with a diverse client base and multiple successful campaigns. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and email service providers. Growth indicators include a significant number of branded websites launched and ongoing SEO campaigns. The company leverages modern marketing tools and analytics to optimize client outcomes. However, there is no evidence of certifications or formal security frameworks, which may impact enterprise client confidence.

Security posture

The current security posture of Ocean Power's website is moderate. The presence of a valid SSL certificate and content security policy to upgrade insecure requests are positive indicators. However, the lack of TLS 1.2 or higher protocols, absence of HSTS, and malformed CAA DNS records represent weaknesses that could expose the site to certain risks. No explicit security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated, and no data protection officer contact is provided. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which may be a compliance gap. Overall, the security maturity level is basic with room for significant improvement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable and enforce TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols to improve SSL/TLS security.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Correct or remove malformed CAA DNS records to ensure proper certificate authority authorization.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform hosted by Hostinger, utilizing popular plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7. The technology stack includes jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, with structured data implemented via JSON-LD for organization and product ratings. Performance metrics are not explicitly provided but the site appears optimized with caching enabled via W3 Total Cache. However, the SSL configuration lacks modern protocol support, and DNSSEC is disabled. The malformed CAA records indicate potential DNS misconfiguration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small digital agency but could benefit from security and compliance enhancements to reduce technical risks.
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.
