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

The website at arcticicestudio.com currently serves a standard 404 error page hosted on the Netlify platform, indicating the site content is inaccessible or missing. There is no visible business information, contact details, or policy documentation available on the page. The domain is registered with IONOS SE since 2014 and uses privacy protection for registrant details, which is typical for business domains. However, the lack of accessible content severely limits the ability to assess the company's market position, services, or technical maturity. From a technical perspective, the site is hosted on Netlify but lacks any detectable scripts, tracking, or modern web technologies in the provided HTML snapshot. The absence of security headers and SSL configuration details in the data provided suggests potential gaps in security best practices, although this cannot be fully confirmed without live site testing. Security posture is weak due to the lack of visible security policies, privacy compliance documentation, and contact information. No forms or data collection mechanisms are present, reducing immediate data exposure risks but also indicating a lack of engagement or business functionality. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and legitimate, but the site itself does not currently present a professional or trustworthy front. Overall, the site is non-functional from a user perspective and scores very low on content quality, technical implementation, security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility. Strategic recommendations include restoring website content, publishing essential policies, implementing security headers and HTTPS, and providing clear contact information to improve trust and compliance.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Due to the absence of accessible website content, no direct business intelligence can be derived from the site itself. The domain registration data indicates a business presence since 2014 with privacy protection enabled. The hosting on Netlify suggests a modern deployment platform but no active content or services are visible. No partnerships, subsidiaries, or market positioning information is available. The lack of contact or policy information limits insights into revenue streams, customer segments, or growth indicators.

Security posture

The security posture is currently minimal and insufficient. No security headers or SSL configuration details are provided. The site lacks privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No forms or inputs reduce attack surface but also indicate no active user engagement. The domain registration is legitimate and privacy protected, which is standard practice. Overall, the site does not demonstrate adherence to security best practices or compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Restore website content to provide meaningful user experience and business information.
  2. Publish privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of service to meet compliance requirements.
  3. Implement HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS configuration and enable DNSSEC for domain security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear contact information including email and phone to improve trust and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Netlify, a modern cloud platform, but the current content is a minimal 404 error page with no detectable scripts, libraries, or CMS. No meta tags, Open Graph, or structured data are present. The site lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features. Performance is likely moderate due to Netlify hosting but cannot be fully assessed without live data. The absence of security headers and SSL details in the provided data indicates technical debt in security configuration. Modernization opportunities include restoring full site content, implementing SEO and accessibility best practices, and enhancing 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.
