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

Alburn Technologies is a small technology studio specializing in applied artificial intelligence, product design, and research. The company positions itself as a niche provider targeting businesses and organizations seeking innovative AI-driven product solutions. The website is minimalistic but professional, emphasizing their core services and brand identity. Contact is facilitated through an external Airtable form, with no direct email or phone contacts provided on the site. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel, which supports fast performance and good mobile optimization. The site uses HTTPS and defers script loading for performance but lacks important security headers that could enhance protection. SEO and accessibility features are basic but present. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and modern hosting but misses key security headers and lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for small tech firms, and no suspicious patterns were found. Overall, the website is safe and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security headers, and more transparent contact information to increase trust and compliance posture.

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. 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

Alburn Technologies operates in the technology sector focusing on applied AI and product design services. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting clients needing AI integration and product innovation. The company appears to be small in size with a focused market niche. The lack of detailed company information such as founding year or location limits deeper business intelligence. The use of an external Airtable form for contact suggests a lean operational model. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The company’s competitive advantage lies in its specialization in AI and product research, but limited web presence and minimal content may restrict market reach.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the defense-in-depth level. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The lack of direct contact information for security incidents or abuse reporting suggests limited incident response readiness. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the site is secure for general use but requires enhancements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide direct contact information such as a company email address and phone number for general and security incident communications.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and dependency checks to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website content and navigation to improve user experience and business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack using Next.js and React, hosted on Vercel which provides fast loading times and good mobile responsiveness. The use of deferred script loading and font preloading indicates attention to performance optimization. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal, with no structured data or extensive metadata beyond basic Open Graph tags. The site lacks a CMS and appears to be a static or server-side rendered React application. No major technical debt or risks were identified, but improvements in SEO and accessibility could enhance digital maturity.
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.
