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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 operates as a small technology service provider specializing in web design and marketing integration. The market positioning is niche, focusing on conversion optimization for websites. Revenue streams likely include client projects, newsletter subscriptions, and possibly consulting or coaching via YouTube content. The target customer segment is businesses looking to improve online sales through better website design. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and standard web services but no explicit business partners or subsidiaries. Growth indicators include active content publishing and a modern web presence. Strategic observations suggest a focus on personal branding and content marketing to build credibility and attract clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness is not evident as no security contact or policy is published. The security culture appears basic but adequate for a small business website. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy presence.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Add explicit contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to enhance trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Bricks theme and child theme, leveraging modern web fonts and icon libraries such as Font Awesome and Ionicons. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and responsive design techniques. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent plugin is active. Hosting is managed via Hosting Concepts B.V. with DNS through Cloudflare, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site uses standard JavaScript libraries for smooth scrolling and UI enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities to improve security configurations and accessibility features.
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.
