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

Provident Promotions is a small, regionally focused creative agency based in Hastings, Nebraska, specializing in digital media marketing services including website design, logo creation, photography, video production, and SEO. The company targets local businesses and non-profits seeking professional marketing tools to build and grow their brands. Their website demonstrates a good level of technical maturity, leveraging WordPress CMS with modern plugins and libraries to deliver a responsive and SEO-optimized user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trustworthiness despite the professional presentation and client testimonials. Overall, the website is well-designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and clearer domain legitimacy.

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. 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

The company operates as a creative marketing agency serving the Hastings NE area and surrounding Tri City region. Their business model revolves around providing comprehensive branding and digital marketing services, including web development, graphic design, video, and photography. The presence of client testimonials and a portfolio indicates a customer-centric approach with a focus on quality and long-term brand building. The partnership with Provident Photos suggests a broader service ecosystem. The company appears to have a stable local market position with potential for growth through digital channels. Revenue streams likely include project-based fees for design and marketing services. The website's SEO and social media integration support lead generation and brand visibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communication. No security headers were detected in the HTML source, which is a security best practice gap. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which may expose the company to GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance risks. No incident response or security contact information is provided. The site uses common third-party libraries and plugins without signs of vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or use WHOIS privacy protection services transparently to improve trust.

  2. No privacy or cookie policies found on the site, which is a compliance gap.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a custom theme (providentpro) and several well-known plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, SiteOrigin Panels for layout management, and various JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, AOS, Slick Carousel, and Fancybox for enhanced user experience. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs like Google Fonts and unpkg.com. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a small creative agency, but security hardening and privacy compliance need attention to reduce risks.
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.
