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

Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) is a well-established professional organization dedicated to the world's leading graphic designers. The website serves as a platform to showcase design history, inspiration, and a broad portfolio of projects spanning from 1950 to the present. The organization is based in Switzerland and has a clear presence with contact details and social media channels. The business model focuses on community building and professional networking within the graphic design industry. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including jQuery, Modernizr, Handlebars, and Google Analytics, hosted under a reputable registrar. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is credible and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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

8 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 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
      • 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

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

AGI holds a strong market position as an international non-profit organization in the graphic design sector. Its competitive advantage lies in its curated collection of design works and a network of prominent designers. The website supports its mission by providing access to design archives and member information. Revenue streams are likely based on membership fees and events, though not explicitly stated. The target audience includes professional designers, academics, and design enthusiasts. The organization maintains partnerships with related domains such as AGI Open and AGI Congress, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital maturity by adopting stronger privacy and security practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking risks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Data protection practices are minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which may lead to compliance issues with GDPR and other regulations. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Review and minimize user tracking practices or provide clear disclosures to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery, Modernizr, Handlebars, and Fuse.js for UI and search functionalities. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are employed for analytics and tracking. The site is hosted under DNS servers managed by the registrar Key-Systems GmbH, with no CDN or advanced hosting platform detected. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading of images and responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving 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.
