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

Statik is a Belgian digital agency specializing in strategy, web development, and online marketing with a strong emphasis on sustainability and positive impact. The company serves a diverse clientele including educational institutions, government bodies, and non-profits, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the digital transformation towards a sustainable future. Their services encompass strategic consulting, UX/UI design, digital product development, content-heavy websites, and marketing storytelling. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content that aligns with their mission and values. Technically, the website leverages modern technologies such as Craft CMS, JavaScript frameworks, SVG graphics, and integrates advanced analytics tools including Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit incident response policies. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and secure form handling with captchas, but lacks visible security headers and a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure. The WHOIS data is restricted, which is common for privacy-conscious businesses, and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional best practices. The overall risk assessment is low, with the site demonstrating strong business credibility, technical maturity, and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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 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 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

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

Statik operates in the technology sector with a focus on sustainable digital solutions. Their market positioning is that of a medium-sized agency with a reputable client base including KU Leuven and various government and non-profit organizations. The business model is service-oriented, providing end-to-end digital strategy and execution. Revenue streams likely derive from consulting, project-based development, and ongoing marketing services. The target customers are impact-driven organizations seeking digital transformation aligned with sustainability goals. Growth indicators include active job postings and event hosting. The partnership ecosystem is broad, involving educational, governmental, and cultural institutions. The company emphasizes positive impact and sustainability as key differentiators in a competitive digital agency market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form implementations including captchas. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears mature but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention and privacy practices to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Craft CMS, JavaScript, and SVG for graphics. It integrates advanced analytics platforms such as Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager, alongside Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and resource management. The use of Formie for forms indicates a robust approach to data collection and validation. Technical risks are minimal but include the absence of some security headers and potential reliance on multiple third-party tracking scripts which should be monitored for privacy and security compliance.
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.
