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

Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) is a well-established interdisciplinary design studio based in New York, specializing in architecture, urban design, installation art, and multimedia performance. Founded in 1981, DS+R has a strong market position with internationally recognized projects such as The High Line, The Shed, and MoMA expansion. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting architects, cultural institutions, and design enthusiasts. Technically, the site uses modern technologies including React and Sanity CMS, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe, with no adult or questionable content detected.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

DS+R operates in the real estate and cultural design sector, offering a broad range of design services. The firm targets cultural and civic clients and maintains a medium-sized team led by prominent partners. The business model focuses on high-profile architectural and cultural projects, leveraging its reputation and awards to maintain a competitive advantage. The website's content and structure support its market positioning, though it lacks explicit contact details and privacy disclosures which could be improved to enhance client engagement and compliance. The use of Google Analytics indicates moderate user tracking for marketing insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes transfer and update prohibitions, reducing risk of hijacking. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which may impact readiness and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is not evident, representing a compliance gap.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements to improve privacy posture.
  4. Add explicit contact information including security or abuse contacts to facilitate incident reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics to minimize tracking and enhance user privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and leverages Sanity CMS for content management, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Performance is moderate, with large images optimized via CDN. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Hosting provider details are not explicit but domain registrar is Tucows. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks that should be addressed to improve resilience and trust.
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.
