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

Peregrine Communications is a well-established integrated marketing communications agency specializing in serving asset managers and financial services firms globally. With over two decades of experience, the company offers award-winning services including public relations, creative services, and digital marketing from its London and New York offices. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting institutional clients in the financial sector. Technically, the site is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools to deliver a responsive and engaging user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though there is room for improvement in implementing security headers and publishing explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern for domain legitimacy verification, but the overall digital presence and content quality support the company's credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency, maintaining compliance with evolving privacy regulations, and continuing to strengthen trust signals on the website.

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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Peregrine Communications operates in the competitive financial services marketing sector, focusing on asset managers and related professional services. The company differentiates itself through a data-driven approach and a strong portfolio of case studies and reports. Its business model centers on integrated marketing communications, combining traditional PR with digital marketing and creative design. The firm maintains a medium-sized presence with offices in key financial hubs, indicating a stable market position. The website's content and social media integration suggest active engagement with its target audience and a commitment to thought leadership. No direct revenue streams or parent/subsidiary relationships are evident from the website data. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms like HubSpot and Google for marketing and analytics, enhancing its operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, there is no evidence of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts from trusted sources is noted, but continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in security headers and transparency around security governance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or ensure domain registration information is publicly accessible to strengthen domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern front-end technologies such as Tailwind CSS, jQuery, and animation libraries like AOS. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for data collection and marketing optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in script loading and caching strategies. The technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning to reduce load times and improve SEO further.
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.
