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

BOA arhitektid is an established Estonian architecture firm specializing in architecture and main design services. Founded in 2011, the company presents a professional online presence showcasing a portfolio of architectural projects and competitions. The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO for search optimization. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts, with hosting likely provided by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar and hosting provider. The site implements HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism via CookieYes, reflecting a basic level of privacy compliance. However, explicit privacy policies and terms of service are not found, which could be improved for better compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible security headers and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and suitable for its target audience of clients seeking architectural services.

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

    • 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

  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"

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

BOA arhitektid operates in the Real Estate sector, focusing on architectural design and project planning. The firm targets clients requiring architectural and main design services, positioning itself as a creative and needs-oriented service provider. The business model is service-based, with revenue likely generated from architectural projects and competitions. The website content and portfolio indicate a medium-sized firm with a strong local presence in Estonia. Social media integration on Facebook and Instagram supports marketing and client engagement. The absence of detailed business contact information and formal policies suggests room for growth in digital maturity and client communication. No partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly configured, ensuring encrypted communications. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or abuse contact information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The WordPress platform and plugins should be regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  3. Add incident response and abuse contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design. The use of Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) enhances search engine visibility. External resources include Google Fonts and jQuery libraries, which are standard for contemporary web development. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis, and CookieYes manages cookie consent. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. Hosting is likely provided by Zone Media OÜ, an Estonian registrar, ensuring local hosting consistency. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement advanced security configurations to reduce technical risks.
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.
