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

Saint-Lazare is a professional art direction and graphic design studio operating from Paris and New York, targeting creative brands and entrepreneurs seeking premium branding and narrative services. The website showcases a rich portfolio of high-profile clients and projects, emphasizing immersive storytelling and timeless brand creation. The business is positioned as a boutique creative agency with a strong international presence and a consistent brand image. Technically, the website is built on Webflow, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Lenis for smooth scrolling. It is well optimized for mobile devices and delivers fast performance with a clean, professional design. SEO and accessibility features are adequately implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency, although the website content itself appears professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site presents a low risk but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security best practices, and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and reduce potential vulnerabilities.

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. 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

Saint-Lazare operates in the creative services sector, focusing on art direction and graphic design for luxury and lifestyle brands. Their client list includes prestigious names across fashion, hospitality, and cultural sectors, indicating a strong market position in premium branding. The business model revolves around bespoke creative projects and brand storytelling, targeting discerning clients in Paris, New York, and beyond. The partnership with Grand Bureau suggests a collaborative ecosystem enhancing their service offerings. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio and active social media presence. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based contracts and retainers with high-end clients.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism indicate compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or recent registration, which reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a creative agency but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with visible consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability management transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or use verified WHOIS information to enhance domain legitimacy and trust.

Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good uptime. The site is fully responsive with excellent mobile optimization and accessibility features.

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.
