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

FABRICations is a specialized urban design consultancy based in the Netherlands, focusing on sustainable and innovative solutions for urban environments. Their expertise spans energy transition, climate adaptation, and healthy urbanism, positioning them as thought leaders in the real estate and urban planning sector. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on the Squarespace platform, featuring project highlights and a podcast to engage their audience. Technically, the site is well-implemented with HTTPS, HSTS, and modern web technologies, ensuring good performance and security. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, indicates gaps in compliance and security transparency. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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 operates globally with a focus on sustainable urban design, targeting municipalities, developers, and urban planners. Their business model is consultancy and research-driven, emphasizing mixed-use urban spaces and environmental consciousness. The website showcases a portfolio of projects and maintains active social media channels, indicating engagement with the professional community. The lack of detailed business registration data on the site suggests a small-sized enterprise with a niche market position. Their use of Squarespace indicates a preference for managed digital infrastructure, balancing ease of use with professional presentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data exposure was detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but is standard for analytics purposes. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's security maturity and readiness to handle incidents. No vulnerable libraries or scripts were identified, but ongoing monitoring is recommended. Enhancing privacy compliance and adding explicit security documentation would improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Implement a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS capabilities and CDN hosting for fast and reliable delivery. It uses modern CSS Grid layouts and Typekit fonts for a polished design. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and loads efficiently. However, SEO optimization is basic, and accessibility could be improved. The technical stack is stable with minimal technical debt, but adding structured data beyond basic JSON-LD WebSite schema could enhance search visibility. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
