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

Bureau DGC is a small Paris-based graphic design studio founded in 2016, specializing in book design, visual identity, spatial design, website, and digital media. The company targets artists, publishers, architects, urbanists, and brands, positioning itself as a niche creative agency with a professional portfolio showcasing diverse projects. The website reflects a consistent brand identity and provides clear contact information, though it lacks social media presence and phone contact details. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site is hosted by OVH sas, a reputable provider. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are important for enhancing security posture. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, nor incident response contacts, indicating compliance gaps especially regarding GDPR. The domain registration data is consistent and trustworthy, supporting the legitimacy of the business. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from improved security practices and privacy compliance measures to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Bureau DGC operates in the creative services sector, focusing on graphic design for artistic and publishing clients. Its business model revolves around providing bespoke design solutions including book design and digital media. The company appears to have a stable market position within its niche, leveraging collaborations with artists and brands. Revenue streams likely come from project-based contracts. The absence of social media and limited contact channels may constrain growth and visibility. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital presence and formalizing compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. HTTPS is implemented, which is mandatory, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, exposing compliance risks under GDPR. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated, with no dedicated security contact channels. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager without visible consent mechanisms further impacts privacy compliance. The business impact of these gaps includes potential regulatory penalties and reduced user trust. Enhancing security culture and formalizing policies would improve the posture significantly.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Add dedicated security incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  5. Review and strengthen SSL/TLS configuration to ensure use of strong cipher suites and protocols.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a well-known European hosting company. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS platforms. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimizations are minimal. There is some technical debt in the form of missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS for easier content management and improving SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
