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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the real estate and architecture sector, targeting clients seeking architectural and interior design services in Switzerland. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on project development and general planning. The firm appears to be small-sized with a regional market position. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The website content is consistent with the business focus and branding is coherent. Lack of contact emails or phone numbers on the site may limit direct client engagement. No partnerships or related domains were identified from the data. The absence of privacy and cookie policies may affect trust and compliance with GDPR regulations.
Security posture
The website currently lacks key security headers and policies, which reduces its security maturity level. No forms or input fields were detected, minimizing attack surface, but also no secure contact channels for incident reporting. No vulnerability disclosure or security certifications are present. The absence of HTTPS information is a concern, though it may be enabled but not confirmed from the data. The site does not use common analytics or tracking services, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to align with GDPR and industry best practices.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
Ensure HTTPS is enforced with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify via security scans.
Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident communication.
Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to enhance trust and security readiness.
Website is accessible and not blocked by WAF or security mechanisms.
No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found on the site.
No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly provided in the HTML content.
Physical address is present in meta tags indicating location in Switzerland.
Site uses modern JavaScript framework Svelte and SVG graphics.
No analytics or tracking scripts detected.
No security headers or explicit security policies found.
No forms detected on the homepage content provided.
No social media links found in the HTML content.
Site content is focused on architecture services with project showcases.
Technical notes
Notes
The website uses the Svelte JavaScript framework with modular JavaScript and SVG graphics for branding. The site loads multiple JavaScript chunks and CSS assets, indicating a modern single-page application architecture. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags including Open Graph and geo-location metadata. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident. Performance is moderate based on asset loading patterns. Accessibility features are basic with some ARIA live regions but no detailed accessibility markup detected. No analytics or third-party tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
