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

Penrose CDB is a specialized digital, design, and communication agency focused on serving cause-driven organizations. Their services include branding, strategy, digital development, and video production, targeting NGOs and socially conscious clients. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, showcasing a portfolio of projects and client logos, indicating a credible market presence. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is mobile-optimized with moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, though the active and professional website mitigates some risk. Overall, the site is functional and credible but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

7 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 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
  • 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

Penrose CDB operates as a small-sized agency in Romania, focusing on the technology and non-profit sectors. Their business model revolves around providing creative and strategic communication services to cause-driven organizations. The company leverages a portfolio of international clients, enhancing its market positioning. The use of WordPress and Elementor suggests a cost-effective and flexible digital infrastructure. Limited tracking and absence of aggressive marketing tools indicate a privacy-conscious or low-marketing approach. The lack of WHOIS transparency may affect trust with some clients, but the visible client logos and project showcases support credibility. Growth potential exists through enhanced digital marketing and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy compliance indicators suggest gaps in GDPR adherence. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner and ensure full GDPR compliance with clear privacy notices and data handling disclosures.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and trustworthiness.
  4. Configure and activate Google Analytics or alternative analytics with privacy considerations to better understand user behavior.
  5. Establish a clear security policy and incident response contact channels to improve security culture and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Elementor page builder, utilizing jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Fonts and FontAwesome provide typography and iconography. The site is mobile-optimized and uses lazy loading for images, improving performance. However, no advanced caching or CDN details were identified. The MonsterInsights plugin for Google Analytics is installed but not configured, limiting analytics capabilities. The site lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are technical gaps. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but could benefit from performance tuning 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.
