Risk levelMedium

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

Dolce e Luce Lighting Design Studio is a small, internationally recognized independent lighting design and consultancy firm based in Rome, Italy, founded in 2018. The company offers a broad range of lighting design services including architectural, landscape, urban lighting, light art installations, and lighting controls. Their market position is strengthened by academic involvement and membership in professional lighting associations. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, with good mobile optimization and performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, but improvements in privacy and security policies are recommended.

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. 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 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

    • High

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

The company targets architects, designers, and clients seeking specialized lighting consultancy worldwide. Their business model is consultancy and design services with a focus on creativity, technology, sustainability, and innovation. The firm maintains a strong partnership ecosystem including academic and professional associations. Growth indicators include a detailed project portfolio and international workshops. The company operates independently without commercial ties to manufacturers, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are recommended for enhanced security. No incident response or security policy information is published, indicating a gap in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or malicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is limited, with no GDPR-specific disclosures or cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor user engagement and improve marketing strategies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS servers indicate a Slovak hosting provider. Performance is moderate with optimized images and video embedding via Vimeo. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are good, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies is a technical and compliance gap.
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.
