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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
Unable to retrieve SSL certificate
Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information
What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured
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"
This scan found 15 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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
Business profile
The agency targets businesses and organizations in need of branding and design services, positioning itself as a specialist in the Swiss market. Their business model revolves around creative services including branding strategy, corporate design, rebranding, illustration, and marketing. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on quality and client trust, with clear contact channels and professional presentation. The absence of privacy and terms policies suggests an area for improvement in compliance. The use of modern CMS and marketing tools indicates a digitally mature operation with potential for growth and partnership expansion.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response information represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from implementing additional security best practices such as Content-Security-Policy headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and readiness.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user and business obligations.
Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process.
Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress with Elementor, using a child theme and custom fonts for branding consistency. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Rank Math for SEO optimization. Hosting is likely via Amazon Web Services, as indicated by AWS cookies. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses lazy loading for images and preloads fonts for performance. No critical technical issues were detected, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could further strengthen the technical posture.
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.
