Risk levelMedium

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

Sweet Punk is a medium-sized creative agency based in France with offices in Paris and Montpellier. It operates as part of the Ekstend Group and offers a comprehensive suite of branding, digital marketing, advertising, and content production services. The agency has a strong market position supported by multiple industry awards and a diverse client portfolio. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern marketing and analytics tools integrated, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy. Business credibility is high, supported by clear contact information, professional content, and trust signals such as awards and client logos.

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

4 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

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

Sweet Punk targets brands and organizations seeking innovative and strategic creative services, leveraging its Core Branding™ methodology. The agency's business model focuses on integrated marketing solutions combining design, digital, and content production. Its partnership with Ekstend Group enhances its market reach and resource base. The presence of multiple social media channels and press releases indicates active marketing and client engagement. The agency's client base spans various sectors, including retail, media, and non-profit. Growth indicators include recent project launches and expansions into audiovisual production. The company maintains a professional digital presence but should address security gaps to protect its reputation and client data.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols or strong cipher suites are enabled, and critical DNS security features like DNSSEC and CAA records are missing. While some security headers like HSTS and Referrer-Policy are present, the overall configuration is insufficient for robust protection. The site uses cookie consent tools aligned with GDPR, but the lack of incident response or security policy documentation indicates limited formal security governance. These vulnerabilities pose business risks including loss of trust, data breaches, and compliance issues.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Configure the web server to support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS security and prevent certificate mis-issuance.
  4. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  5. Continue to maintain and improve privacy compliance mechanisms, including transparent data retention policies.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with PHP 7.4.25 and uses Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Matomo, and Plausible for analytics, and Vimeo for video hosting. Cookie consent is managed via tarteaucitron.js with high privacy settings. The site uses Cloudflare DNS but the hosting IP is not clearly identified. Performance metrics are missing, suggesting a need for monitoring and optimization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. However, the lack of SSL and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and SVG graphics for UI elements, indicating a contemporary front-end approach.
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.
