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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

The business operates in the media sector focusing on advertising and web design services. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized, sharp, and fairly priced marketing solutions for a diverse client base including healthcare, crafts, and public sector entities. The company leverages a network of photographers, videographers, and print producers to deliver comprehensive marketing products. Revenue streams likely include design services, print production, and digital marketing. The target customers are regional SMEs requiring professional branding and online presence. The company maintains a consistent brand image and trust signals such as GDPR compliance and clear contact details. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent small business.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. Use of Google Analytics is managed via consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the site could benefit from implementing additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks. The presence of reCAPTCHA indicates attention to spam prevention on contact forms. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could be improved to strengthen security governance. Overall, the security posture is solid for a small business website but has room for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Update jQuery library to the latest stable version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add explicit security policy and incident response information accessible to users and partners.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on RapidWeaver CMS using Foundation framework and various Stacks plugins, providing a modular and responsive design. It uses jQuery 2.2.4 and Font Awesome 4.0.3 for UI components and icons. Usercentrics is integrated for cookie consent management, and Google Analytics 4 is used for traffic analysis. Hosting is provided via UI-DNS nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider components but overall good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards but could improve accessibility and security headers. The technical stack is appropriate for a small agency website with room for modernization.
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.
