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

United Webdesigners is a small Belgian web design agency specializing in affordable, quality websites and webshops with a focus on personal customer service and ongoing support. Their service portfolio includes web design, e-commerce solutions, social media management, copywriting, email marketing, online advertising, graphic design, photography, and drone videos. The company emphasizes technical soundness, SEO, and user-friendly responsive design. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and The7 theme, integrating analytics tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps. WHOIS data is restricted by the registry, limiting domain trust verification. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company targets small to medium-sized businesses and self-employed professionals seeking affordable digital presence solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in combining quality with low pricing and personalized service. The business model is service-oriented, delivering end-to-end web projects from concept to live deployment and maintenance. The portfolio and testimonials reinforce credibility and market positioning. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for contact forms. The company has been active since 1996 according to site content, but domain age cannot be confirmed due to WHOIS restrictions. The partnership with The7 theme provider is evident. Marketing efforts include online advertising campaigns on multiple platforms with small budgets.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms, which are positive security indicators. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. The lack of published privacy and cookie policies and absence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicate compliance and transparency gaps. Analytics tools used may collect user data, but no explicit data retention or privacy compliance details are provided. WHOIS data is not publicly available, reducing transparency about domain ownership. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Provide direct company contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve trust and accessibility.
  5. Seek to obtain and publish WHOIS information or use a registrar that allows transparency to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and The7 theme, indicating a mature and flexible technical infrastructure. It integrates common analytics tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and optimized images. However, no advanced security headers or CSP policies were detected. The site lacks explicit privacy and cookie management scripts or banners. The WHOIS data is restricted by the .be registry, limiting domain ownership transparency. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy 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.
