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

Shift Your Branding Agency is a newly established creative and strategic branding agency founded in 2023. The company focuses on transforming brands through services such as branding, design, rebranding, consulting, and communication campaigns. Their market position is that of a specialized boutique agency targeting businesses seeking comprehensive brand identity and digital presence enhancements. The website showcases multiple case studies demonstrating their expertise across various branding and design projects. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Bing Ads for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is hosted on Amenworld servers and uses Statamic CMS inferred from HTML attributes. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with responsive images and modern JavaScript modules. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating gaps in privacy compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could be improved to enhance trust and security posture. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from adding privacy and cookie policies, improving security headers, and publishing incident response details. The domain registration is consistent with the business age and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy. The risk level is moderate with recommendations to enhance privacy compliance and security best practices.

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.

Priority findings

5 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 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 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Shift Your Branding Agency operates as a small-sized creative agency specializing in branding, design, and consulting services. Their business model revolves around delivering tailored branding solutions and communication strategies to clients, as evidenced by detailed case studies on their website. The agency targets businesses looking to revamp or establish their brand identity, including sectors such as corporate branding, digital campaigns, and UX/UI design. The company is relatively new, founded in 2023, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. Their market positioning is that of a boutique agency emphasizing creativity and strategic brand transformation. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests an opportunity to strengthen client engagement and trust. Marketing efforts leverage Google and Bing advertising platforms, indicating a focus on digital outreach and lead generation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web vulnerabilities like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site does not provide any incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which is a gap in security transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the business to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels to improve overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add incident response and vulnerability disclosure information with dedicated contact channels.
  5. Improve accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including ES modules and responsive images, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. It uses Statamic CMS, which is a flat-file CMS known for simplicity and speed. Hosting is provided by Amenworld, as indicated by the nameservers. The site integrates Google Fonts for typography and employs Google Tag Manager and Bing Ads scripts for analytics and marketing. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. However, accessibility is basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts and large responsive images. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and modern web presence but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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.
