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

The Accouter Group of Companies (AGC) is a British interior design collective recognized as the first B Corp certified entity in its sector in the UK. It operates a portfolio of internationally awarded interior design brands including Accouter, A.LONDON, BoxNine7, Bazaar, SWAG, and AGC BTR, delivering high-quality interior architectural design and furnishings primarily to the global property market, private clients, and consumer markets. The company positions itself as a leader in sustainable and innovative design solutions with a strong brand presence and multiple subsidiaries. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Typekit fonts. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The site uses HTTPS but lacks HSTS and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced security. From a security and compliance perspective, the site implements a cookie consent banner with opt-in mechanisms, but lacks visible privacy policy and terms of service pages, which are critical for GDPR compliance. WHOIS data is notably missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Overall, AGC presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence with strong business credibility and branding. However, improvements in security posture, privacy compliance, and domain registration transparency are advised to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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

AGC operates in the real estate and hospitality sectors with a focus on interior design and architectural furnishings. Its business model is a collective of multiple brands offering specialized design services and an innovative Build-to-Rent service. The company targets a global audience including property developers, private clients, and consumers. The B Corp certification and international awards provide competitive advantages emphasizing sustainability and quality. The presence of multiple brand domains and active social media channels indicates a well-established partnership ecosystem and a strategic approach to market positioning. Growth indicators include diversified services and a strong digital footprint. The lack of detailed financial or founding year data limits deeper revenue or growth analysis.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of HSTS and DNSSEC reduces protection against certain attack vectors such as protocol downgrade and DNS spoofing. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. The missing WHOIS data is a significant compliance and trust gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site uses standard analytics and tracking tools with moderate user tracking levels. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in policy transparency, DNS security, and domain registration clarity to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS resolution and prevent spoofing or cache poisoning.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Improve website accessibility features to enhance usability for all users and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reputable platform providing CMS and hosting services. It uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Adobe Typekit fonts. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with rich media content. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries. The lack of DNSSEC and HSTS are technical risks that could be mitigated. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence with opportunities for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
