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
5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company targets businesses seeking brand consultancy and design services, focusing on strategic brand building and communications. Their business model is service-oriented, delivering tailored branding, design, and digital solutions. The market position is that of a small, independent, and reputable agency with a growing portfolio and client base. They maintain active social media channels and use email marketing to engage prospects. The company was founded around 2020 and operates primarily in the UK. Trust indicators include client testimonials, a professional portfolio, and compliance with privacy regulations. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies, indicating a standalone operation.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner that allows users to customize preferences. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and no vulnerable libraries were detected. However, security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident and could be added to enhance protection. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical business use but could benefit from additional security hardening and documentation.
Recommendations
Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
Maintain and review privacy compliance documentation regularly to align with evolving regulations.
Professional brand consultancy website with clear service offerings

WHOIS data limited but consistent with legitimate use
Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Google Analytics for visitor tracking, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. It uses jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements. The site loads resources from trusted CDNs such as Cloudflare and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in caching and resource loading. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses a professional design with clear navigation and structured content, supporting a positive user experience.
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.
