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

Sunset Blvd. Investigations Inc. is a small, privately owned private investigation firm based in Los Angeles, California, with an additional office in Newport Beach. Founded in 2015, the company leverages over 80 years of combined law enforcement and investigative experience from its founders, who served as detectives in the LAPD and LASD. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of investigative services including surveillance, background checks, litigation support, and executive protection, targeting individuals and businesses requiring professional investigative assistance locally and globally. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and detailed service descriptions, enhancing user experience and trust. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using a PaperStreet theme, employing modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site enforces HTTPS, ensuring secure communications, but lacks some recommended security headers which could improve its security posture. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy, though cookie policy and consent mechanisms are absent. Contact information is prominently displayed with multiple phone numbers and physical addresses, supporting business credibility. Security-wise, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS and CAPTCHA protection on forms, but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, reducing domain trustworthiness despite the professional appearance and content of the website. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional front for a specialized investigative service provider, with room for improvement in security and privacy transparency.

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"

      • 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

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

Sunset Blvd. Investigations operates in the private investigation sector, focusing on personalized and experienced investigative services. Its competitive advantage lies in the founders' extensive law enforcement backgrounds and the breadth of services offered. The business model is service-oriented, targeting legal professionals, corporations, and private clients. Revenue streams likely derive from investigative contracts and retainer services. The company maintains a strong local presence in Los Angeles with an additional office in Newport Beach, supported by testimonials from reputable clients and membership in professional associations. The partnership ecosystem includes a web design partner (PaperStreet). Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with active content and a broad service portfolio. Strategic observations suggest the company could enhance trust by improving domain registration transparency and expanding privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with privacy regulations is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure policies are not published, which could impact transparency and trust. The security culture appears professional but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen site security.
  2. Add a cookie policy and explicit consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update security practices, including monitoring for vulnerable libraries and ensuring secure form handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a PaperStreet theme, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1 and Slick Slider for UI components. Google reCAPTCHA v2 Invisible is integrated for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and uses modern font formats (WOFF2). Performance is moderate, with preloading of key images and fonts to improve load times. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO schema data and proper meta tags. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and ARIA attributes. No hosting provider information was detected. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for modernization and compliance improvement.
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.
