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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

PixelProduction operates as a medium-sized full-service marketing agency focused on the NRW region in Germany, targeting medium-sized B2B and B2C companies. Their competitive advantage lies in offering integrated marketing solutions from strategy to execution, including digital marketing, web development, design, and event management. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through consulting, project execution, and ongoing marketing support. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers like HubSpot and Shopware to enhance service offerings. Growth indicators include a regularly updated blog, active social media presence, and a comprehensive service portfolio. The agency maintains a strong regional footprint with offices in Wuppertal and Cologne, supporting localized client engagement. Their strategic ecosystem includes technology partners and a focus on digital transformation for clients, positioning them well in a competitive marketing services market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Borlabs Cookie, and secure contact forms requiring explicit user consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security suggests room for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The use of modern WordPress plugins and regular updates is implied but should be continuously monitored to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended HTTP headers and publishing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust with clients and visitors.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins, themes, and dependencies to minimize exposure to known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Enfold theme, which is a well-supported and feature-rich framework. The tech stack includes popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization, Contact Form 7 for form management, Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance, and Matomo Tag Manager for analytics. The site uses jQuery and slick carousel for interactive elements and OpenWidget for chatbot integration. Hosting is managed via kasserver.com, indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with some heavy media elements like video backgrounds and sliders, but overall the site is responsive and mobile-optimized. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could be made to modernize the infrastructure 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.
