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

VDB Audio is a specialized manufacturer of professional microphone booms and accessories, with a history dating back to 1986. The company targets professional audio engineers and film industry professionals, offering high-quality products made from advanced materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. The website reflects a niche market position with consistent branding and a network of related partner companies in the audio equipment sector. Technically, the website uses legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.11.3 and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. While HTTPS is enabled and cookie consent is implemented, the site lacks modern security headers and uses outdated libraries, which pose potential security risks. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie policy present but no detailed privacy or security policies. Contact information is not explicitly provided on the site, which may affect user trust. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and security improvements to enhance trust and compliance.

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

10 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

  2. 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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
  • 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention vdbaudio.cz, from OffSeq Breach.

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 operates in the media industry, focusing on manufacturing and distributing specialized audio equipment. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing expertise and innovative use of materials for microphone booms, serving a global professional audience. The business model is product-centric with partnerships evident through linked domains and logos. The website content and news updates indicate active engagement with industry events and customers. Growth potential is supported by a niche market and professional reputation. However, the lack of explicit contact details and limited privacy disclosures may hinder customer confidence. The partnership ecosystem includes several well-known audio brands and distributors, reinforcing market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version introduces known vulnerabilities, and the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options weakens defense against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking comprehensive GDPR disclosures. These gaps suggest the need for improved security hygiene and transparency to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish detailed privacy and security policies with GDPR compliance information.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or non-standard CMS platform using legacy JavaScript libraries and standard CSS stylesheets. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and employs a cookie consent banner for compliance. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization detected. The site lacks modern frontend frameworks or responsive design indicators beyond basic CSS. Accessibility features are minimal, and SEO optimization is basic with limited metadata. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated, presenting opportunities for modernization and security enhancement.
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.
