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

VML is a globally recognized marketing and communications agency operating under the parent company WPP. The company offers a broad range of services including brand experience, commerce, customer experience, and enterprise solutions, targeting enterprise-level clients. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content showcasing their work and insights. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks and integrates analytics and marketing tools effectively, though performance is moderate. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement, which is a critical risk. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, VML presents a credible and professional business but must urgently address its SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

VML holds a strong market position as a top-tier creative agency network, evidenced by multiple industry awards and recognitions. Their business model focuses on delivering innovative marketing solutions to large enterprises, supported by a global footprint and a reputable parent company, WPP. The company leverages partnerships and a diverse service portfolio to maintain competitive advantages. The website content and structured data confirm a focus on media and marketing sectors, with a large enterprise size. The presence of multiple social media channels and industry accolades indicates active engagement and growth orientation.

Security posture

The current security posture reveals significant vulnerabilities primarily due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled HTTPS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers are present, critical best practices like HSTS enforcement, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. No direct evidence of incident response or security policies was found, indicating potential gaps in security governance. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries, but the SSL/TLS misconfiguration severely impacts trust and security scores.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload flags to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, likely Vue.js, and integrates third-party services such as JW Player for video, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics 4 for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The hosting infrastructure uses Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a focus on performance and security, though SSL/TLS is misconfigured. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility features. Performance metrics are not provided but inferred as moderate. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for organization information, enhancing SEO. Technical debt is minimal, but the critical SSL issue poses a risk to business operations and user trust.
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.
