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

Finkernagel Ross is a well-established international design company specializing in architecture, interior architecture, and interior design, serving high-end residential, commercial, and hospitality clients primarily in the UK and Europe. The company positions itself as a full-service provider with offices in London and Hamburg, emphasizing bespoke and sustainable design solutions. The website reflects a professional brand image with consistent branding and good content quality, targeting discerning clients seeking impactful design. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and the JupiterX theme, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Mailchimp. The site is secured with HTTPS and uses reputable hosting and domain registration services, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie policy and consent mechanism present but no clear privacy or terms of service pages detected. The presence of RIBA Chartered Practice certification adds trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical maturity. However, improvements in privacy transparency, security headers, and policy disclosures would enhance compliance and trust.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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

Finkernagel Ross operates in the real estate and hospitality design sectors, targeting high-end clients with bespoke architectural and interior design services. The company leverages its international presence and professional certifications to maintain a competitive edge. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based design contracts for residential, commercial, and hospitality developments. The website's integration of marketing and analytics tools indicates an active digital marketing strategy. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled lead generation approach, possibly funneling inquiries through forms or calls to action. The company appears focused on quality and sustainability, aligning with market trends in luxury design.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS encryption and domain transfer lock status, reducing risks of interception and unauthorized domain transfers. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden security further. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces moderate tracking but no evident vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy publication and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to align with privacy best practices and reduce user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and the JupiterX theme, which provides flexibility and a rich design experience. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and Mailchimp indicates a mature marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site uses a slideshow background and responsive design elements, supporting good mobile optimization. Hosting and domain registration are managed by reputable providers. Performance is moderate, with some opportunities for optimization. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced for broader compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
