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

PSFK is a well-established innovation and trend research company with over 20 years of experience empowering businesses and change-makers globally. Their offerings include strategic advice, events, newsletters, and detailed reports aimed at helping brands and retailers identify future opportunities. The company targets a professional audience seeking insights into emerging trends and innovation strategies. Technically, the website is built on the Softr.io platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as React, Bootstrap, and integrates analytics and customer engagement tools like Google Analytics and Intercom. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and anonymizes IPs in analytics, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly, though the website content and external references support its legitimacy. Overall, PSFK presents a credible and professional digital presence with moderate technical maturity and a solid security posture, but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and transparency.

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

7 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 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

    • 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

PSFK occupies a strong niche in the media and consulting sector focused on innovation and trend research. Their business model revolves around providing actionable insights through multiple formats including events, newsletters, and reports, targeting global brands and retailers. The company demonstrates a consistent brand identity and maintains partnerships with various AI projects and innovation platforms, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include consulting services, event hosting, and subscription-based access to reports and newsletters. The website's integration with booking tools like Cal.com suggests a direct engagement channel for client acquisition. Despite the missing WHOIS data, the company's long history and professional web presence indicate a stable market position with growth potential in the innovation advisory space.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and IP anonymization in analytics, which protects user privacy to some extent. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security or incident response policies were found, which limits transparency and preparedness communication. The contact form uses secure submission methods but lacks visible anti-bot or CAPTCHA protections. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media and consulting website but could be significantly improved by adopting standard security headers, publishing policies, and implementing stronger form protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies along with a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Establish and publicly share a security policy and incident response plan to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Add CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures on contact forms to reduce spam and potential abuse.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Softr.io platform, utilizing React and Bootstrap frameworks, which provide a modern and responsive user interface. Integration with Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Intercom, and Stripe indicates a mature digital marketing and payment infrastructure. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive font sizes and layout adjustments. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy compliance features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but likely managed by Softr.io. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements by reducing third-party script dependencies and enhancing caching strategies.
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.
