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. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 in the media and technology sectors, offering integrated marketing and communication services. It holds memberships in reputable industry associations like Google Premium Partner, IAB Slovakia, and AMA, which enhance its competitive positioning. The business model focuses on delivering comprehensive marketing solutions by combining media, data, and technology expertise. The target audience includes corporate clients seeking advanced media and marketing services in Slovakia. The website's content quality and branding consistency support a strong professional image, although explicit contact details are not prominently provided. The parent company is Publicis Groupe, a global leader in communications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR cookie compliance mechanisms active. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its business type but could enhance trust by publishing detailed security and privacy documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate proactive security management.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with standards.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3 and uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing. It employs Contact Form 7 for forms and Moove GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy management. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized with good SEO practices. Fonts are preloaded for performance, and animations use AOS library. No hosting provider details were identified. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social sharing. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is incomplete.
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.
