62/100

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

The website www.wsb-agency.com represents a communication agency formerly known as WSB, now rebranded as mêtis to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The agency focuses on providing communication and marketing services to businesses that view communication as a catalyst for change. The site serves primarily as an announcement landing page directing visitors to the new brand website and LinkedIn profile. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using common libraries such as jQuery, Tailwind CSS, and FontAwesome. However, it suffers from visible WordPress debug notices indicating suboptimal configuration and early loading of translation files. Security posture is basic with no visible security headers or advanced protections, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, which impacts compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration consistency. Overall, the site is functional but minimal, with moderate technical maturity and basic content quality.

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

6 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.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The agency operates in the media sector, specifically in communication and marketing services. It targets businesses seeking professional communication support. The rebranding to mêtis suggests a strategic repositioning to modernize the brand and expand market presence. The business model is service-oriented, relying on client engagements for communication projects. The presence of a LinkedIn profile and a new domain (metis.fr) indicates active efforts to maintain professional visibility. The lack of detailed business information, certifications, or trust signals on the landing page limits the perceived credibility. The agency appears to be a small-sized entity with a focused niche in communication services within France.

Security posture

Security maturity is low to moderate. The site lacks essential security headers and exposes WordPress debug notices, which could leak internal information. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or advanced security mechanisms. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The missing WHOIS data further complicates trust evaluation. These factors collectively suggest the need for improved security hygiene, better configuration, and enhanced compliance measures to protect both the business and its clients.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve WordPress debug notices by adjusting plugin/theme code to load translations at the correct lifecycle stage.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  3. Add and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Publish security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Investigate and clarify domain WHOIS registration details to enhance legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with standard plugins and libraries including jQuery, Tailwind CSS, and FontAwesome. The site uses Google Fonts for typography. The presence of debug notices indicates development or configuration issues that should be addressed before production deployment. The site is moderately optimized for mobile but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. Performance is moderate, but the site could benefit from optimization and cleanup of debug information. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data provided.
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.
