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

Snowball Digital AS is a Norwegian-based design and technology agency specializing in digital product strategy, UX/UI design, branding, development, and growth marketing. The company targets growth-focused businesses seeking innovative digital solutions and seamless end-to-end experiences. Their market position is that of a specialized boutique agency with a focus on digital transformation and product innovation. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, leveraging a headless CMS (Crystallize) and integrating analytics tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional, consistent brand image. Security-wise, the website uses HTTPS and asynchronous loading of tracking scripts but lacks some security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for improved compliance and security posture. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for small agencies, and the website content and contact information support the legitimacy of the business.

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

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 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

Snowball Digital operates in the technology sector as a service provider agency offering digital strategy, product design, engineering, and marketing services. Their client portfolio includes companies in digital transformation and branding, indicating a focus on innovative and growth-oriented markets. The business model is service-based, targeting companies needing expert digital product development and marketing. The agency maintains a strong online presence with social media channels and client showcases, supporting their market positioning. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company appears to be small in size with a focused service offering and a clear target audience of growth-driven businesses.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts is standard but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small agency but can benefit from enhancements in headers, policies, and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, supported by a headless CMS (Crystallize). It integrates analytics and user behavior tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Hotjar, loaded asynchronously to optimize performance. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. The site lacks some accessibility features and security headers, which are areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the data.
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.
