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

Rumpus Animation is a specialized creative studio focusing on 2D hand drawn animation, serving broadcasters, game studios, and agencies globally. The company has established a reputable market position with a portfolio of diverse animation projects and recognized industry certifications. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a clear focus on their craft and client engagement through visual storytelling. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 7.0 with modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Lozad.js for lazy loading, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is hosted on Heart Internet and employs HTTPS with a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, enhancing user privacy and security. However, some security best practices like DNSSEC and security headers are not implemented, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site shows a good baseline with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations, but further enhancements in security headers and vulnerability disclosure would strengthen the security posture. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good content quality and business credibility. Strategic improvements in security configurations and transparency would further enhance trust and resilience against potential threats.

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. SSL/TLS

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

Rumpus Animation operates as a small but important player in the media sector, specializing in 2D hand drawn animation. Their business model revolves around providing creative animation services to broadcasters, game studios, and agencies, leveraging storytelling to engage audiences. The company has maintained a consistent brand presence since its founding in 2010, supported by industry certifications such as the Albert Trained Stamp and Clean Creatives Seal. The website's portfolio highlights diverse projects, indicating a broad client base and a competitive pricing strategy. Social media integration on Instagram and LinkedIn supports marketing and client engagement efforts. The absence of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a preference for controlled communication channels, possibly via dedicated contact pages or forms not present in the analyzed content. Growth indicators include a modern website with interactive elements and compliance with GDPR, positioning the company well in regulated markets. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but external domains used for fonts and scripts are reputable CDNs and libraries, ensuring reliable technical support.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism reflects attention to privacy regulations. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which limits the ability of users or security researchers to report issues or understand the company's security governance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, which are increasingly considered best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The website does not appear to use extensive tracking or analytics services, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative business but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible security research.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain up-to-date software versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Lozad.js for lazy loading images, which enhances performance and user experience. The use of CDN services like jsDelivr and fonts.bunny.net indicates reliance on reputable external resources for content delivery. Performance is moderate with autoplaying video content and animated GIF logos, which may impact load times but improve engagement. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured links. Technical risks include the absence of DNSSEC and security headers, which are standard in modern secure web deployments. The cookie consent mechanism is well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting is provided by Heart Internet, a known provider, but no advanced hosting or security platform is indicated. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small creative agency but could be enhanced with additional security and performance optimizations.
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.
