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

128K is a small communication microagency based in Geneva, Switzerland, specializing in original creations for web and print. The agency is run by a father-daughter team passionate about programming, typography, and design. Their clientele includes cultural, educational, and commercial entities such as L'Ecole des Parents, Galerie Latham, and various Geneva public services. The website showcases a portfolio of print and web projects, emphasizing bespoke design and client collaboration. Technically, the site is built on Joomla! CMS and uses common JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Bootstrap, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, the site lacks privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information, which are critical for compliance and security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is fully accessible and safe for general audiences.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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

128K operates as a niche microagency focusing on design and communication services primarily in the Geneva region. Their business model centers on personalized client engagement and high-quality design outputs for web and print media. The agency's market position is that of a specialized boutique service provider with a loyal client base in cultural and public sectors. The absence of privacy and security policies may limit trust and compliance with GDPR, especially given their European location. The website's technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features. The agency's partnership with photographers and references to notable clients indicate a credible and professional operation.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security posture due to the absence of security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response contacts. While HTTPS is presumably enabled (based on the URL), no explicit security best practices are observed in the HTML content. There is no evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data, but the lack of security policies and headers represents a compliance and risk gap. The site does not appear to collect user data via forms on the homepage, reducing immediate risk, but overall security maturity is low. Recommendations include implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve technical implementation and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla! CMS with a combination of jQuery 1.8, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, Isotope, and Magnific Popup libraries. The CSS is managed with LESS, and Google Maps API is integrated. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility and SEO. The HTML structure is valid with meta viewport and charset tags properly set. However, the site lacks modern security headers and privacy compliance features. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking scripts, which may be positive for privacy but limits marketing insights. The technical stack is stable but could be modernized with updated libraries and enhanced security configurations.
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.
