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

Ariane Studio Sàrl is a small media company based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, specializing in video production, community management, digital design, and website creation. The company presents itself as a passionate creative studio focused on authentic storytelling and digital content creation for businesses. The website is professionally designed with rich multimedia content, including videos and social media integration, targeting businesses seeking to enhance their digital presence. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on creative digital solutions and video production services. The company was founded in 2017, consistent with the domain registration date, indicating a stable market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Yoast SEO plugin and UIkit framework, ensuring good SEO optimization and mobile responsiveness. The site loads moderately fast and includes accessibility features, though some improvements could be made. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and use of spam protection plugins, but lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. Analytics are minimal, using Jetpack Stats for basic tracking. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by implementing security headers and explicit privacy compliance features. The website shows no signs of malicious activity or vulnerabilities. Business credibility is high with clear contact information, legal pages, and consistent branding. The domain WHOIS data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include adding a cookie consent banner to improve privacy compliance, implementing security headers to strengthen security posture, and providing explicit incident response contact information to enhance trust and readiness. These improvements will help Ariane Studio maintain a professional and secure online presence while complying with relevant regulations.

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

8 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

Ariane Studio operates as a creative media agency focused on video production and digital marketing services in the Neuchâtel region. Its competitive advantage lies in authentic storytelling combined with modern digital strategies, targeting businesses that want to boost visibility through visual content. The business model is project and service-based, likely generating revenue through client contracts for video production, social media content, digital design, and website development. The company maintains an active social media presence, which supports marketing and client engagement. Growth indicators include a well-maintained portfolio and ongoing social media activity. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but social media and legal pages indicate a professional operational structure. The company appears stable with a clear market niche in the local creative media sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of anti-spam honeypot plugins. However, it lacks several security best practices such as HTTP security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and explicit incident response or security contact information. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms pages present but no cookie consent mechanism detected, which is a GDPR compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of dedicated contacts. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but should be improved to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  2. Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish explicit incident response contact information or abuse/security email addresses to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in plugins or server configuration.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and perform regular SEO audits to maintain and improve website performance and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and UIkit for frontend UI components. It leverages jQuery and Instagram Feed plugins to enhance interactivity and social media integration. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and multimedia content optimized for performance. However, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates some technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Performance is moderate, with video content that may impact load times but is well managed with autoplay and muted attributes. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security and privacy enhancements.
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.
