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

Pitch & Sync is a well-established independent music and sound agency founded in 2005, specializing in music supervision, licensing, audio branding, composition, and audio post-production services for forward-thinking brands and creatives. The company positions itself as an award-winning agency with nearly two decades of experience, targeting marketing professionals and creative agencies seeking strategic audio solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with rich multimedia content showcasing their portfolio and services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, uses modern web technologies, and is hosted via IONOS SE with DNS managed by livedns.co.uk. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Contact information is limited to an email address. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security 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

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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Pitch & Sync operates in the media sector as a niche service provider focusing on music and audio branding. Their business model revolves around providing end-to-end audio consultancy and production services, including brand strategy, campaign creative, talent engagement, and sync licensing. The company leverages partnerships and a strong social media presence to maintain market visibility. Their nearly 20-year domain age supports their established market position. The absence of phone and physical address information online suggests a digital-first or boutique agency approach. The company’s portfolio includes high-profile clients such as Absolut, Nike, Adidas, and Ford, indicating strong industry relationships and competitive advantage. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia showcases. The partnership ecosystem includes Wasserman for talent access, enhancing their service offering.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represent gaps that could expose the site to certain attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not implement privacy or cookie consent mechanisms, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and formal privacy and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding more contact information such as phone number and physical address to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies including SVG icons, Vimeo video embedding, and Typekit fonts. CSS is optimized using Autoptimize. Hosting and DNS are managed by reputable providers (IONOS SE and livedns.co.uk). The site loads multimedia content efficiently with lazy loading for videos and images, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and viewport meta tags. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA attributes on video controls but no explicit accessibility statements found. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve compliance.
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.
