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

ERLANDS DESIGN STUDIO is a small, Latvia-based creative design studio specializing in product, packaging, spatial design, and art direction. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image targeting clients interested in meditative and philosophically inspired design creations. The business model revolves around offering bespoke design services with a focus on quality and artistic vision. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing insights. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks important security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and contact information partially mitigate trust issues. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policy clarity, and domain registration transparency are recommended to enhance overall trust and compliance.

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, Facebook, YouTube, Google APIs

      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

The studio occupies a niche market in creative design, emphasizing a living philosophy and meditative practices as part of its brand identity. Its competitive advantage lies in its artistic approach and bespoke service offerings. Revenue streams likely come from client projects in product and spatial design. The target audience includes design-conscious clients and businesses seeking unique packaging and spatial solutions. The company maintains a presence on Instagram, supporting its marketing and client engagement. The partnership ecosystem is limited, with no explicit related or partner domains identified. Growth indicators are not explicit but the professional website and social media presence suggest active engagement in the design community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces its defense against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie and terms of service information embedded but no explicit cookie consent mechanism or comprehensive privacy policy. The use of third-party analytics and tracking pixels introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with stronger privacy controls. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS to strengthen HTTPS security.
  2. Publish a dedicated, comprehensive privacy policy page clearly outlining data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner with opt-in/opt-out capabilities to meet privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  4. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration details to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Develop and communicate an incident response plan and security policy to demonstrate security readiness and accountability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a modern and reliable platform that provides built-in CMS and hosting services. The tech stack includes integration with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for marketing analytics, and uses Typekit and Google Fonts for typography. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design principles. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. However, the absence of security headers and limited accessibility features indicate areas for technical improvement. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
