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

Design Pomegranate is a small architectural studio based in Islington, London, specializing in bespoke residential architecture. Their website presents a professional image with a focus on quality and delivery of beautiful living spaces. The company targets clients seeking personalized architectural services for residential projects. The site is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Typekit fonts and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and semantic clarity. While the technical infrastructure is adequate with moderate performance and good mobile optimization, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the website lacks visible security headers and privacy-related policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and contact information suggest a legitimate business operation. No signs of adult or questionable content were detected, making the site safe for general audiences. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business presence with professional design and clear contact information but requires enhancements in security posture and privacy compliance to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence. Verification of domain registration status is recommended to ensure legitimacy and reduce risk.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Design Pomegranate operates in the niche market of bespoke residential architecture within the UK, focusing on high-quality, client-centered design services. Their competitive advantage lies in their commitment to quality and delivery, as emphasized on their website. The business model revolves around providing architectural design services directly to residential clients. The company maintains a modest digital footprint with a single social media presence on Instagram, which aligns with their boutique market positioning. Growth indicators are not explicitly stated, and no partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. The website content and structure suggest a stable, small-scale operation with potential for expansion through enhanced digital marketing and compliance improvements.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic. HTTPS usage is assumed but not explicitly confirmed in the data. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact channels, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries, which is positive. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in policy implementation and technical safeguards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration and verify its presence site-wide.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish security contact information.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, which provides a managed hosting environment and built-in CMS capabilities. The use of Typekit fonts and YUI JavaScript libraries indicates reliance on established web technologies. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic, with canonical tags and Open Graph metadata present but lacking advanced SEO elements. The site does not use advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies, which simplifies maintenance but may limit customization. Technical risks include potential outdated scripts and lack of security headers. Modernization opportunities include improving accessibility, SEO, and security configurations.
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.
