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. 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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

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

Web Bay operates in a specialized segment of the digital agency market, targeting associations, NGOs, and EU-funded projects, which provides a competitive advantage through domain expertise. Their business model is service-oriented, offering end-to-end digital solutions including web development, branding, and digital transformation. The company leverages remote collaboration tools and maintains long-term client relationships, as evidenced by multiple testimonials and ongoing support claims. Their partnership ecosystem includes reputable international organizations and EU institutions. Growth indicators include a portfolio of over 50 EU-funded projects and continuous client engagement. The agency's strategic location in Brussels enhances its market relevance and access to EU clients. However, the absence of publicly available privacy and security policies may limit trust for some clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags preventing unauthorized domain changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS represent gaps that could be exploited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The site lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which are important for compliance and trust. Data protection practices appear minimal with no explicit privacy policy, though a cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from formalized policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for complex and large-scale websites. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and UI frameworks such as jQuery, Fancybox, Select2, and Slick Carousel, contributing to a rich user experience. Google Tag Manager and Quora Pixel are used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is hosted with GoDaddy.com, LLC, with domain registration dating back to 2012, indicating stability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses multiple CSS stylesheets and scripts to ensure responsiveness and interactivity. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security practices and accessibility compliance.
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.
