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 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

  2. 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.

  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 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

  4. 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

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 a B2B business model targeting game developers and entertainment studios requiring high-quality 3D art and co-development services. Their market position is strengthened by their association with Magic Media and a diverse portfolio of high-profile projects such as Diablo 4, Remnant 2, and Crusader Kings III. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and partner studios under Magic Media indicates a broad service ecosystem. The website's content and portfolio demonstrate expertise and a commitment to quality, positioning Ringtail Studios as a competitive player in the gaming art outsourcing sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses security best practices such as domain transfer lock and reCAPTCHA on forms. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit privacy and cookie policies, and a published security or incident response policy. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. These gaps suggest moderate security maturity with room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The absence of contact emails and phone numbers on the site limits direct communication channels for security incidents or customer support.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet compliance standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the The7 theme and WPBakery Page Builder, with LayerSlider for animations. Hosting is likely on AWS based on DNS servers. The site uses modern web technologies and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and improved privacy compliance. The site structure and SEO elements are well implemented, supporting good discoverability and user navigation.
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.
