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

SPACE is a Belgian-based Trusted Media Agency focused on delivering agile and innovative media positioning and strategy services. The company emphasizes a mindset of connection, daring, and growth, targeting businesses seeking media agency expertise. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and a LinkedIn presence, positioning SPACE as a small but credible player in the media sector. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, Symfony Stimulus, and Chart.js, hosted on infrastructure linked to Gandi. However, the site suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. This significantly impacts the security posture and user trust. The absence of security headers and modern TLS protocols further weakens the security stance. From a security perspective, the lack of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, the website is functional and professionally designed but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trustworthiness and protect user data. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding privacy and cookie policies, and adopting security best practices to elevate the site's security maturity and compliance posture.

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

10 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

  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

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

SPACE operates as a specialized media agency in Belgium, focusing on agile innovation and collective excellence. Its business model centers on providing media positioning and consulting services to organizations seeking to enhance their media presence. The company targets a professional audience, likely including corporate clients and marketing teams. The website content and branding suggest a small-sized agency with a clear market positioning emphasizing trust and innovation. The LinkedIn presence supports professional networking and credibility. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. The absence of detailed business registration data limits deeper corporate intelligence but the domain registration aligns with the business claims, supporting legitimacy.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical flaw exposing all data transmissions to interception risks. No security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, or X-Frame-Options are implemented, increasing vulnerability to common web attacks. The site does not support modern TLS protocols, and OCSP stapling is disabled, further reducing security robustness. There is no evidence of a security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure process, which are important for managing security incidents and maintaining user trust. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, potentially exposing the business to regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website immediately.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), Content-Security-Policy (CSP), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience, including mobile optimization and accessibility enhancements.

Notes

The website is built using a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Bootstrap Icons for UI elements, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Symfony Stimulus for frontend controllers. Chart.js is used for data visualization. The hosting DNS is managed by Gandi, a reputable provider. Despite the modern stack, the site suffers from slow load times (~10 seconds) and lacks HTTPS support due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based site. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags found. Accessibility features are basic, and no forms are present on the homepage to collect user data. The technical debt includes missing security best practices and performance optimization opportunities.
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.
