The company offers a comprehensive range of marketing services including strategy, digital marketing, branding, media buying, and public relations. Their market position is strong regionally, supported by multiple industry awards and client testimonials.

Hosting is provided by MediaTemple, and the site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Ohlmann Group operates as a full-service marketing agency with a business model focused on delivering integrated marketing solutions to businesses. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing market presence, comprehensive service offerings, and strong client relationships evidenced by testimonials and awards. Revenue streams likely include consulting, creative services, digital marketing campaigns, and media buying. The target customer segment is primarily businesses in need of marketing and advertising expertise. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including Google Partner status and industry affiliations. Growth indicators include recent website updates, podcast launch, and active social media presence. The agency emphasizes quality, integrity, and client success as strategic pillars.
Security posture
The current security maturity level of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective status flags. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents areas for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Data protection practices appear standard with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries detected. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces some risk, necessitating regular audits. Compliance gaps include lack of cookie consent mechanisms, which may affect GDPR adherence. Overall, the security culture is implied but not explicitly communicated.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS hosted on MediaTemple servers, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Koi Marketing Automation indicates a mature marketing technology stack. Performance is moderate, with potential optimization in script loading and caching. Accessibility features are implemented, including ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and security headers would modernize the security posture. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals effectively with room for security and performance enhancements.
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.
