Risk levelMedium

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

The website stateofcreativity.com currently serves as a placeholder page with minimal content, indicating that the site is under construction or awaiting development. There is no business description, contact information, or service details provided, which limits the ability to assess the company's market position or offerings. The domain is registered since 2006 with a reputable registrar, but the lack of content suggests underutilization. Technically, the site uses basic HTML5 and CSS3 with Google Fonts for typography and inline SVG graphics for visuals. The site includes responsive design elements for mobile devices but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS detection. There is no evidence of analytics, tracking, or advertising technologies. Security headers and HTTPS status are not provided, but the domain uses a known registrar without privacy protection or DNSSEC. From a security perspective, the site lacks privacy and cookie policies, terms of service, contact information, and incident response details. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, reducing immediate risk but also indicating a lack of compliance with common privacy regulations such as GDPR. The absence of security best practices and policies lowers the overall security posture. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile due to its minimal content but also a low trust and credibility level. Strategic recommendations include developing comprehensive content, implementing privacy and security policies, enabling HTTPS and security headers, and adding contact and incident response information to improve compliance and user trust.

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. 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"

    • 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 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

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

Due to the placeholder nature of the website, there is no clear business model, target audience, or market positioning discernible. The domain's long registration age suggests potential for a future business or project, but currently, no revenue streams, partnerships, or growth indicators are visible. The only external link is to the DirectAdmin hosting provider, indicating the site is hosted on a standard web hosting platform. No competitive advantages or strategic partnerships are evident from the current content.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is low. There are no visible security headers, no HTTPS confirmation, and no privacy or cookie policies. The absence of contact or incident response information indicates a lack of preparedness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the lack of security best practices and compliance documentation is a concern. The site does not collect user data, which reduces risk but also limits functionality. Compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations are evident due to missing policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate to secure communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Provide clear contact information and establish an incident response contact channel.
  4. Include security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Develop meaningful website content to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, using Google Fonts and inline SVG for graphics. It includes responsive design for mobile devices but lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms. Performance is expected to be moderate given the minimal content. SEO is poor due to missing meta descriptions and structured data. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal technical complexity. Hosting is provided by NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a known registrar and hosting provider. The site would benefit from modernization, improved SEO, 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.
