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

Snowhound is a technology company specializing in software development, consulting, and training services primarily targeting businesses and organizations. Their market position is that of a trusted software development partner focused on delivering quality solutions that simplify and optimize client operations. The company operates mainly in Estonia with offices in Tartu and Tallinn. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with detailed case studies and client testimonials, indicating a strong business credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. It employs modern web technologies including lazy loading for images and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and security headers which are recommended best practices. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent banner present but no privacy policy or terms of service pages found, representing a compliance gap. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good business and technical foundations. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security policy transparency. Addressing these gaps would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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

      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. 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 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';…

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

Snowhound operates in the B2B technology sector, providing end-to-end software development and consulting services. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized client engagement, demonstrated by detailed case studies and positive testimonials from notable clients such as Telia and HotelBuddy. The business model focuses on project-based and consulting revenue streams targeting medium to large enterprises and organizations in Estonia. The company maintains active social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, supporting marketing and client engagement. Growth indicators include recent case studies and active content updates. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and client collaborations but no explicit subsidiaries or parent companies are identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no obvious technical vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Data protection officer contact or GDPR compliance statements are missing, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting basic privacy compliance. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could benefit from formalized policies and transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Create and publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security issues, including a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency with security researchers.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with popular plugins for page building and sliders, indicating a standard modern web infrastructure. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and lazy loading for performance optimization. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with good SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and webpage information. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No hosting provider details are explicitly found, but the domain registrar is EuroDNS S.A. The technical stack is typical for small to medium-sized technology service providers.
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.
