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

Project N is a specialized digital creative agency focused on the video game industry, providing marketing services such as video production, website development, design, and community management. The company targets gaming brands and esports clients, positioning itself as a niche agency with a strong focus on gaming and gear marketing. Founded in 2005 and based in Bath, UK, Project N operates as a small-sized business with a professional online presence. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks like Vue.js and Vuetify, hosted and DNS-managed by Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks some key compliance elements such as privacy and cookie policies, and security headers are not detected, which could be improved to enhance security posture. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but there are opportunities to strengthen privacy 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

5 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

Project N operates in the media sector, specifically targeting the gaming and esports marketing niche. Its business model revolves around delivering creative digital marketing solutions including video, websites, and social media management for gaming brands. The company benefits from a long domain history since 2005, indicating stability and experience. The presence of structured contact data and social media links supports its credibility. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found in the provided data. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on gaming and esports, catering to a growing market segment. Revenue streams likely include project-based marketing services and ongoing community management contracts.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, which provides a baseline of security. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security were detected in the HTML content, representing a gap in security best practices. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which limits transparency in incident response. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with additional security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Vue.js and Vuetify, with Material Design Icons and Typekit fonts for styling and typography. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable performance and security features like clientTransferProhibited domain status. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. However, no CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement by optimizing resource loading. Accessibility is basic and could benefit from enhancements to meet WCAG standards. No analytics or tracking scripts were identified, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be improved with better security headers and compliance 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.
