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

5 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 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 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Owlchemy Labs operates in the technology sector specializing in VR gaming, targeting VR enthusiasts and gamers. The business model revolves around game development and digital distribution. The company has a medium-sized footprint with a consistent brand image and a well-aged domain. Their marketing ecosystem includes social media engagement and digital analytics. The absence of physical addresses or phone numbers on the website suggests a primarily digital operation. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like Meta for VR experiences and uses third-party services for recruitment and analytics. Growth indicators include active social media and recent content updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks. However, the lack of DNSSEC leaves some vulnerability in DNS spoofing. No security or incident response policies are publicly available, which could hinder transparency and trust in case of incidents. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits external reporting of security issues. Tracking scripts are present without a cookie consent banner, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security.
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing jQuery and various compressed JavaScript bundles for functionality. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is hosted on Squarespace infrastructure with Google Cloud DNS name servers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The site is mobile optimized and includes basic accessibility features such as skip links. However, there is no DNSSEC configured, and cookie consent mechanisms are absent despite tracking technologies. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced privacy and security controls.
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.
