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

RustyBrick, Inc. is a small technology service company based in New York, specializing in web design, web development, mobile app development, branding, and marketing technology solutions. The company has a professional online presence with a comprehensive portfolio showcasing various projects and client testimonials, positioning itself as an established player in the technology services market. Their target audience primarily consists of businesses seeking customized online technology solutions to improve operational efficiency and sales. The website infrastructure employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google services such as reCAPTCHA for form security and Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements, providing a good user experience across devices. However, some accessibility features could be improved to meet higher compliance standards. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and abuse. Despite this, the absence of key security headers and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. The missing WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the professional content and active business presence mitigate some risk. Overall, RustyBrick's website is well-designed and functional with moderate technical sophistication and a good security baseline. The primary risks relate to domain registration transparency and privacy compliance, which should be addressed to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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

  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

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

RustyBrick operates in the competitive web and mobile development sector, offering a broad range of services from web design to custom software and marketing technology. Their business model focuses on service delivery to small and medium businesses, leveraging a portfolio of diverse projects to demonstrate capability. The company maintains active social media channels and publishes news and blog content to engage clients and prospects. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and ongoing service agreements. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent operation. Growth indicators include continuous app development for emerging platforms like Apple Vision Pro and Google Glass, indicating innovation focus. Strategic partnerships are not explicitly identified but could be inferred from client projects.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting contact forms. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap that could expose the site to clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and other attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files. Overall, while the site employs some best practices, it would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy notices to enhance GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML/CSS/JavaScript stack with integration of Google services for analytics and spam protection. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly, supporting multiple platforms including iOS, Android, Google Glass, and Apple Vision Pro. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though some optimization opportunities exist. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. The absence of modern JavaScript frameworks or libraries indicates a simpler technical implementation. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Custom Search to enhance functionality. Technical debt appears low, but modernization with improved accessibility and security features is recommended to maintain competitiveness and compliance.
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.
