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

Visual Narrative Ltd is a small, award-winning creative video production company operating primarily in Belfast and Dublin, serving Northern Ireland, Ireland, and the UK. The company offers a broad range of video production services including TV commercials, brand films, social media videos, animation, and corporate videos. With over 20 years of experience, Visual Narrative positions itself as a premium provider with a strong regional presence and a portfolio that includes broadcast TV and industry awards. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and social media integration. Technically, the website is built using Framer, incorporating modern web fonts and scripts such as Google Analytics, Crazy Egg, and Mailchimp for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks important security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, no immediate vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits transparency about domain ownership and age, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. The site does not employ a WAF or present any blocking challenges, allowing full content accessibility. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and business-focused with no adult or questionable content. Strategically, Visual Narrative should enhance its privacy and cookie compliance, implement security headers, and publish clear policies to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence. Adding a security.txt file and improving incident response visibility would further bolster security maturity.

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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Visual Narrative Ltd operates in the media sector as a specialized video production service provider targeting businesses and brands across Northern Ireland, Ireland, and the UK. The company leverages its 20+ years of experience and award-winning reputation to maintain a competitive advantage. Its business model focuses on creative production services including corporate videos, TV commercials, and animation, catering to a diverse client base. The company’s all-island presence (Belfast and Dublin) is a strategic differentiator, appealing to clients with cross-border operations. The website’s content and structured data indicate a focus on quality and client engagement, supported by active social media channels. While the domain WHOIS data is unavailable, the company’s digital footprint and professional presentation suggest a legitimate and established business. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks like clickjacking and content injection. No forms or inputs with explicit security measures were detected in the provided content, and no incident response or security policy information is published. The lack of a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small creative business but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a vulnerability disclosure program to improve incident response and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Framer platform, utilizing modern web fonts and asynchronous JavaScript loading for analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Crazy Egg, and Mailchimp. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The absence of detected CMS beyond Framer suggests a streamlined technical stack. No hosting provider information was identified from the content. The site lacks security headers and explicit privacy or cookie management implementations, which are technical gaps. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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.
