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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

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 · found on this site
  • 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 agency operates a full-service business model targeting local and regional businesses needing advertising and digital media services. Their competitive advantage lies in offering all services under one roof, including design, web development, photography, video production, and print. The company maintains a strong portfolio with notable clients and references, indicating steady growth and a solid reputation. Their partnership ecosystem includes clients with dedicated websites designed and hosted by Schulz-Design, reinforcing their market presence. The business model is client-centric with emphasis on personalized service and quality. Revenue streams likely include project-based fees for design, hosting, and media production services.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, multiple security headers, and a consent management platform (Usercentrics) ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted as an area for improvement. The agency should consider formalizing security policies and providing explicit security contact channels to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good for a small business, with room for strategic enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add explicit security and abuse contact email addresses to the site and WHOIS records if possible.
  3. Maintain regular updates of Joomla CMS and all extensions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing data retention policies and privacy impact assessments.

The tech stack includes standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) and integrates third-party tools such as Usercentrics for consent management and Elfsight widgets for enhanced user experience. Hosting is provided by All-inkl.com, a reputable German hosting provider with 100% green energy usage. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features.

The site architecture supports clear navigation and rich multimedia content, reflecting technical maturity and good maintenance practices.
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.
