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

Urban Heroes is a Netherlands-based digital agency specializing in web development, design, and online marketing services. Established in 2011, the company positions itself as a no-nonsense partner guiding clients through the complexities of the online landscape. Their service portfolio includes web design, development, social media marketing, campaigns, SEO, and compliance with accessibility standards such as WCAG. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and social media presence, targeting businesses seeking digital growth solutions. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern web fonts, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiefirst. Hosting is provided by Hostnet B.V., a reputable Dutch registrar and hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, though performance is moderate. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and DNSSEC enabled, but could be improved with additional security headers and published security policies. Security-wise, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as lack of incident response contact details, represent compliance gaps. The domain WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a mature domain registered since 2011 without privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. Overall, Urban Heroes presents a trustworthy and professional digital agency with a solid technical foundation and good security practices. To enhance compliance and trust, it is recommended to publish comprehensive privacy and security policies and implement a vulnerability disclosure program.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Urban Heroes operates as a small-sized digital agency focused on the Dutch market, offering integrated web and marketing services. Their competitive advantage lies in a straightforward, client-collaborative approach and a broad service offering from design to strategy. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based web development, ongoing marketing campaigns, and consultancy. The company maintains active social media channels and showcases client cases, indicating a growth-oriented and transparent business model. The lack of parent or subsidiary companies suggests independent operation. Strategic partnerships are not explicitly identified but may exist given the external domains linked for analytics and fonts.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Use of cookie consent tools aligns with GDPR requirements, though the absence of a privacy policy page limits full compliance. No security.txt or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. Security headers beyond DNSSEC are not evident, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were detected in the source. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and enhance trust.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to provide a standardized vulnerability disclosure channel.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, indicating up-to-date technical infrastructure. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Cookiefirst shows adoption of standard analytics and consent management tools. The site uses Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit for typography, enhancing design quality. Hosting by Hostnet B.V. provides a stable and reputable environment. Performance is moderate, suggesting room for optimization in asset loading or caching. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, viewport settings, and ARIA labels. No broken links or errors were detected in the provided content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with minor opportunities for performance tuning.
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.
