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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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

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

Red Paint operates as a small but established digital agency focused on delivering high-quality web and graphic design services primarily in the Glasgow region. Their business model includes direct client projects and partnerships through white label services, expanding their reach via agency collaborations. The company leverages open source CMS platforms and custom development to cater to diverse client needs, including data integration and mobile app development. Their client portfolio spans sectors such as charity, sport, business, and wildlife conservation, indicating a versatile market presence. The affiliation with Infinite Eye suggests strategic consolidation or acquisition, potentially broadening service capabilities and market access. The company demonstrates a stable operational history with a focus on quality and client engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS ensuring encrypted communications, and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. The domain is secured with clientTransferProhibited status, preventing unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves DNS queries vulnerable to spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. There is no publicly available security or incident response policy, nor vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security HTTP headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Visual Composer for page building, Slider Revolution for advanced sliders, and Gravity Forms for form management. It uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts and integrates Google Maps API for location display. The site loads multiple minified CSS and JS assets, indicating optimization efforts. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design evident. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security headers and DNSSEC implementation to reduce risk exposure.
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.
