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

Olive Digital Consultancy Ltd. is a small UK-based digital consultancy firm focused on helping clients leverage and monetize their digital assets. The website is currently a 'coming soon' placeholder with minimal content, highlighting services such as web design, SEO, and digital marketing targeted primarily at businesses in the West Midlands region. The company appears to have been founded in 2017 and is registered in England and Wales. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including Normalize.css, Google Fonts, Font Awesome icons, and integrates Mailchimp for email subscriptions and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is basic in design and mobile optimization, with no detected CMS or hosting provider information. Performance is moderate with basic SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS implied by canonical tags and external form submission URLs, but lacks visible security headers such as CSP or HSTS. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. The WHOIS lookup failed due to domain naming issues, preventing verification of domain registration details and reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with room for improvement in security posture, privacy compliance, and domain legitimacy verification. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, verifying domain registration, and enhancing technical and content quality to build trust 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

8 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.

Business context

Business profile

Olive Digital Consultancy operates in the technology sector providing digital consultancy and marketing services. The company targets small to medium businesses seeking bespoke digital solutions in the UK, particularly in Birmingham and the West Midlands. Their business model revolves around service delivery in web design, SEO, and digital marketing. The company is relatively young, founded in 2017, and currently establishing its market presence. The lack of social media presence and minimal website content suggests early-stage digital maturity. The use of Mailchimp and Google Analytics indicates basic marketing and analytics capabilities. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified. The company registration number is displayed, which supports legitimacy, but domain registration inconsistencies warrant further investigation.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with HTTPS usage implied but no explicit security headers detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of external services like Mailchimp and Google Analytics introduces third-party data handling considerations. The lack of DNSSEC information and WHOIS data reduces domain trust. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with critical improvements needed in policy publication, header implementation, and domain verification to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTPS site-wide with valid SSL certificates.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data availability and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, lightweight technical stack with Normalize.css for CSS reset, Google Fonts for typography, and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates Mailchimp for email subscription management and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site lacks a detected CMS or advanced frameworks, indicating a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but no advanced SEO features. No hosting provider or server details were identified. The site would benefit from modernization including improved accessibility, performance optimization, and enhanced security configurations.
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.
