Risk levelMedium

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

Diamond Schmitt is a well-established architecture firm founded in 2001, specializing in designing cultural, educational, and research facilities. The company has a strong market position with a portfolio of notable projects and serves clients primarily in Canada and the United States. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting institutional clients and stakeholders seeking architectural services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain registration transparency, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with no clear cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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 firm operates in the Real Estate sector, focusing on architectural design services. Their business model is service-oriented, targeting institutional and public sector clients. The website content and social media presence indicate a medium-sized company with a strong reputation and consistent branding. The company maintains offices in Toronto, Vancouver, and New York, indicating a North American regional presence. The portfolio and testimonials serve as trust indicators, supporting their market position. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The firm appears to have a stable and mature business with growth potential through high-profile projects.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents missed opportunities to enhance security. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The site lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which could impact trust and compliance. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates moderate user tracking without explicit cookie consent, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened with improved policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Barba.js for page transitions, Pixi.js for graphics, TweenMax and ScrollMagic for animations, and uses Google Analytics for tracking. The site loads multiple external scripts and stylesheets from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with some heavy media content such as videos and large images. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting is provided by easyDNS Technologies Inc., with domain registration dating back to 2001, indicating a mature infrastructure. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and enhance security headers.
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.
