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

Artimeta BV is a Netherlands-based B2B company specializing in the distribution of design lighting products. Their clientele includes light, design, and furniture stores as well as project designers in sectors such as yachting and hotel interiors. The company has an established online presence with a domain registered since 1998, reflecting a mature business. The website showcases a curated collection of lighting products from various brands, targeting professional partners rather than end consumers. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, indicating a modern and flexible infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. However, some technical improvements are recommended, including enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and properly configuring analytics tools. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which are important for enhancing protection against common web threats. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and incomplete privacy compliance features indicate potential regulatory gaps, especially under GDPR. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust. Overall, Artimeta presents as a credible and professional business with a solid market position in the lighting distribution sector. Strategic improvements in security and privacy compliance would strengthen their digital maturity and reduce potential risks.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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

Artimeta operates in a niche B2B market, distributing high-end design lighting to specialized retailers and project designers. Their competitive advantage lies in curated collections from notable brands and a focus on professional clientele in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. The business model centers on distribution and catalog/pricelist provision, supporting partners with tailored offerings. The company’s long domain history and consistent branding suggest stability and trustworthiness. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital marketing and enhancing compliance to meet evolving regulatory demands. Partnerships with lighting brands and project designers form a key ecosystem supporting their operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. The presence of an unconfigured Google Analytics plugin may lead to unnecessary data collection risks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism, which may result in GDPR non-compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Properly configure or remove the Google Analytics plugin to avoid unnecessary or untracked data collection.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The use of Google Fonts and jQuery is standard for contemporary web design. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile responsive. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. The site lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search engine visibility. Analytics tools are present but not fully configured, representing an opportunity for better data-driven insights. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from security and SEO 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.
