NIS2 Art. 21(2)

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 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. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The business targets small to medium enterprises seeking comprehensive digital marketing solutions in the Toronto area. Its competitive advantage lies in combining deep technical expertise with marketing strategy, offering a full suite of services from website design to podcast production. Revenue streams likely include service fees for website care packages, consulting, advertising management, and digital product promotion. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem including LinkedIn groups and scheduling platforms like TidyCal. Testimonials and media presence enhance credibility. The business model is service-centric with a focus on customer acquisition and retention through personalized strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. WordPress security is emphasized through offered services and implied regular updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and common security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, representing areas for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages are found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are absent, which may be a compliance gap.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit incident response and security policy documentation accessible on the website.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner or mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Kadence theme and multiple modern plugins for SEO, social sharing, testimonials, and podcast integration. Hosting is provided by BillyHost, inferred from nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for performance with LiteSpeed Cache. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data is implemented via JSON-LD for organization and webpage schema. Analytics are minimal, using Koko Analytics with cookie-based tracking. Accessibility is basic but present. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with room for security header enhancements and cookie consent implementation.
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.
