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

8 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

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 Consulting operates in the hospitality consulting niche, targeting restaurants and cafes in the Baltic region. Their competitive advantage lies in deep industry experience, especially with delivery platforms, and a data-driven approach to profitability and customer loyalty. The business model is service-based consulting with personalized strategies and measurable growth goals. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees and project-based engagements. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem, including references to client logos and case studies. Growth indicators include over 1000 partners served and documented success stories. The company emphasizes a customer-centric approach and leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to support business development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks several important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance is partial; while a privacy policy exists, cookie consent mechanisms are absent. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consulting website but can be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking technologies to minimize security risks.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies and Google services for analytics and tag management. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and Elfsight widgets for enhanced functionality. Performance is moderate, with some animations and external scripts that may impact load times. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD markup. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. Hosting is provided by Webflow, a reputable provider with HTTPS support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced 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.
