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

4 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  3. 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

  • 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

Accouter Design Limited holds a strong market position in the luxury interior design sector, targeting affluent clients and industry leaders. Their parent company, Accouter Group of Companies, suggests a broader corporate structure supporting their operations. The company leverages multiple global offices to serve key luxury markets in Europe, the USA, and the Middle East. Their digital marketing ecosystem includes advanced tracking and retargeting tools, supporting targeted outreach and customer engagement. The presence of B Corp certification adds to their trust and sustainability credentials. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on bespoke interior design projects, with growth potential indicated by active content updates and publication reports. Partnerships and social media presence further enhance their market visibility and client acquisition strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could expose the site to certain attack vectors. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicate compliance with GDPR requirements. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, suggesting an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and improve resilience against emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS usage.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to stakeholders.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and hosting infrastructure. It employs jQuery and Typekit fonts for enhanced UI/UX, and integrates Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) extensively for SEO and business information. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configurations to enhance overall technical robustness.
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.
