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

Pixel Perfect Awards is a Hungarian digital marketing awards festival initiated in late 2022 by Professional Publishing Hungary Kft. and MAKSZ. It serves as a platform to showcase innovative digital campaigns and foster growth in the regional communication sector. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and mobile optimization, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking, but no cookie consent mechanism is present. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking DNSSEC and security headers. WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistent registration. Overall, the site is functional and credible but could improve privacy compliance 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

6 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 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

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 Pixel Perfect Awards targets marketing and communication professionals in Hungary and the region, positioning itself as a niche event for digital campaign recognition. The business model centers on event organization and awards, supported by partnerships with industry associations like MAKSZ and media outlets such as Kreatív Magazin. The company is small-sized and relatively new, founded in 2022, with a focused service offering. The website content and structure support clear communication of event details, deadlines, and participation information, indicating a well-managed digital presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible cookie consent, posing privacy compliance risks. No forms with visible security tokens were detected, suggesting potential improvements in input security. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be enhanced with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Review all forms for CSRF protection and secure input handling to prevent injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom PHP-based CMS or templating system with Bootstrap for responsive design and Font Awesome for icons. JavaScript libraries include jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. Hosting is managed via DotRoll Kft. with DNS servers at webspacecontrol.com. The site performs moderately with good mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta description present but no Open Graph or structured data detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
