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

Bureaux Andrew Phillips is a small architectural firm specializing in contemporary and sustainable architecture, primarily operating in Luxembourg and London. Their website serves as a professional portfolio showcasing their projects, including commercial office buildings and residential architecture. The firm targets clients seeking high-quality architectural and urban design services. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Typekit fonts, and is hosted on Squarespace's CDN. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with HSTS, employs standard security best practices, and does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response information, which are important for compliance and trust. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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 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

    • High

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

The firm positions itself as a niche player in the architectural sector, focusing on modern and sustainable designs. Their business model revolves around providing architectural and urban design services to real estate developers and private clients. The website's content and social media presence indicate a focus on quality and professionalism, which supports their market positioning. The absence of detailed business registration data and physical contact information suggests a small, boutique operation. The firm benefits from partnerships with photographers and possibly other design professionals, as indicated by image credits. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance to attract larger clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. The use of standard Squarespace scripts and absence of third-party tracking or advertising reduces attack surface. However, the lack of a published privacy policy, terms of service, and security incident response contacts represents compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. The absence of a security.txt file limits vulnerability disclosure transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a small professional site but with room for improvement in compliance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability management and transparency.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet broader user needs and compliance standards.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Consider adding phone contact and physical address details to improve business credibility and user confidence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery and Typekit fonts. It is hosted on Squarespace's CDN, ensuring reliable delivery and moderate performance. The site includes well-structured metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO benefits. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good navigation and professional visual presentation. However, accessibility features are basic, and no advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies are evident. The site does not use analytics or marketing tracking beyond standard platform scripts, limiting data collection but also reducing privacy risks. Technical risks are low, but modernization opportunities include improving accessibility and adding compliance-related content.
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.
