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

SESO media group gmbh is a well-established Austrian digital agency specializing in consulting, creative services, and digital development. The company targets businesses seeking to enhance their digital presence and user experience, positioning itself as a partner for digital transformation in the Economy of Experiences. Their client portfolio includes notable brands such as A1 Telekom Austria, Jägermeister, Red Bull, and AbbVie, indicating a strong market presence in Austria and Switzerland. The website content is professionally crafted, with clear messaging and consistent branding that supports their market positioning. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, GSAP, and AOS for animations. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, leveraging Yoast SEO plugin and structured data for enhanced search visibility. Hosting appears to be managed via GlobeDom DNS services, and email protection is handled through Microsoft Outlook's mail protection services. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. Although several security headers are implemented, the absence of HTTPS severely undermines the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are publicly available. Privacy and cookie policies are present and appear GDPR compliant, with a consent mechanism implemented. Contact information is comprehensive, including email, phone, physical address, and a detailed contact form. Overall, while SESO demonstrates strong business credibility and digital maturity, the lack of HTTPS is a significant risk that must be addressed immediately to protect user data and maintain trust. Strategic recommendations include installing a valid SSL certificate, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing security configurations. The website otherwise reflects a professional and trustworthy digital agency with a solid market position.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

SESO operates as a digital consulting and creative development agency primarily serving clients in Austria and Switzerland. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored digital solutions aligned with user needs, emphasizing flexibility and solution orientation. The company has cultivated a strong partnership ecosystem with major brands in telecommunications, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and energy sectors. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting projects, creative campaigns, and digital product development. Growth indicators include recent case studies and active job postings, suggesting ongoing expansion. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and client references, supporting competitive advantages in the regional digital agency market.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing the site to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Security headers like CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are implemented, indicating awareness of security best practices. However, the lack of TLS protocols and cipher suites, along with missing OCSP stapling and session resumption, highlight configuration gaps. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies, but no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in proactive security management and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and configure strong cipher suites to secure communications.
  3. Enhance HSTS configuration with includeSubDomains and preload flags to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a mature WordPress CMS platform with a modern frontend technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, GSAP for animations, and AOS for scroll-triggered effects. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin and structured JSON-LD data. Hosting and DNS are managed through GlobeDom, with email services protected by Microsoft Outlook's mail protection. Performance data is unavailable, but the site uses lazy loading and font preloading to optimize resource delivery. Technical debt appears low, though the critical lack of HTTPS represents a major risk. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve accessibility features.
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.
