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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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

ZOL operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, focusing on delivering high-value custom digital solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their agile methodology, deep technical expertise in Symfony and PHP, and a comprehensive service offering that spans consulting, UX/UI design, and data analytics. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts, consulting fees, and ongoing maintenance services. The target customer segments include startups seeking MVPs, SMEs aiming for digital innovation, large enterprises requiring technical partnerships, and communication agencies needing development support. The agency demonstrates growth through a broad client base across 30 sectors and over 350 digital projects. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and analytics providers, though no direct business partners or subsidiaries were identified. Operationally, ZOL emphasizes flexibility, pragmatism, and client collaboration, positioning itself as a reliable and innovative digital partner.

Security posture

ZOL's security maturity is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent tool, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Matomo introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented via privacy policies or data protection officer contacts. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the security posture would benefit from enhanced transparency, policy publication, and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy, including a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance GDPR compliance transparency by appointing a Data Protection Officer and publishing related contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring PHP and Symfony frameworks, complemented by React for frontend components. Hosting is managed by OVH, a reputable provider, ensuring reliable infrastructure. The site loads with moderate performance, optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured content. The use of analytics tools like Google Tag Manager and Matomo indicates a mature approach to user behavior tracking and data analysis. However, the lack of visible security headers and explicit privacy documentation suggests areas for technical and compliance improvements. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional digital agency presence with opportunities for enhanced security and privacy 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.
