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

Pixelworks creative studio is a Greek digital agency established in 2003, specializing in web development, e-commerce solutions, online contests, online marketing, corporate identity, and social media management. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking comprehensive digital presence and marketing services. Their website showcases a broad portfolio of clients, indicating a stable market position within the Greek digital services sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript with jQuery, Fancybox for galleries, and Adobe Typekit fonts, alongside Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good design and navigation, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no explicit security headers or policies are present, and no privacy or cookie policies are published. Contact information is clearly provided, but no incident response or data protection officer contacts are available. Overall, the site is professional but lacks some 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

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

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Pixelworks operates as a small but established creative digital agency with a diverse client base across various sectors, including energy, legal, hospitality, and retail. Their business model focuses on providing end-to-end digital solutions from website creation to marketing and branding. The company leverages partnerships with notable Greek organizations such as Enterprise Greece and Greek Energy Forum, enhancing their market credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing marketing services. The absence of privacy and cookie policies may pose compliance risks, especially under GDPR. The company’s portfolio and client references serve as trust indicators, supporting business credibility in a competitive market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible forms collecting sensitive data, reducing immediate risk exposure. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options weakens defense against common web attacks. Absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, potentially exposing the company to regulatory penalties. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which limits readiness for security incidents. The use of third-party libraries like jQuery and Fancybox should be monitored for vulnerabilities. Overall, security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments on third-party libraries and update them promptly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and SEO benefits.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, utilizing jQuery and Fancybox for interactive elements and galleries. Adobe Typekit fonts enhance typography. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with a moderate performance profile. No CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and title tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The absence of forms reduces complexity but also limits user engagement features. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include adding structured data, improving accessibility, and enhancing security headers.
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.
