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

2 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Rope operates in the technology sector as a medium-sized digital agency focused on delivering tailored web and marketing solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in its integrated approach combining strategy, design, and technical execution, supported by a strong client portfolio and transparent communication. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based web development, ongoing SEO and marketing services, and consulting. The company targets SMEs and larger brands aiming to enhance their online presence. Partnerships with major brands and presence on award platforms indicate a well-established market position. The agency emphasizes quality over speed and positions itself as an extension of the client's internal team, fostering long-term collaboration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of DNS spoofing. Cookie consent is implemented with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and preparedness visibility. The use of third-party scripts such as Google Tag Manager and CookieYes is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and adopting additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking, with CookieYes managing cookie consent. The site uses video backgrounds and responsive design techniques for excellent mobile optimization and user experience. DNSSEC is enabled, and Cloudflare services are inferred from cookies, indicating robust hosting infrastructure. Performance appears optimized with preload hints and deferred script loading. Accessibility is addressed with semantic HTML and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema for breadcrumbs, organization, and FAQ content. Overall, the technical implementation is modern, performant, and aligned with best practices.
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.
