Risk levelLow

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

Gensler is a globally recognized architecture, design, and planning firm with a significant international footprint, operating 57 offices and employing over 6,000 professionals. The company offers a broad range of services including architecture, urban design, brand design, sustainability consulting, and interior design, targeting corporate clients, real estate developers, and urban planners. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and clear navigation, supporting its market leadership position. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as JavaScript frameworks, Matomo analytics, and Sentry for error tracking. It is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices and performance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, with privacy and cookie policies implemented in compliance with GDPR. The absence of WHOIS data suggests domain privacy protection, which is common for large enterprises. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a low risk profile. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, adding a vulnerability disclosure program, and enhancing transparency around data protection officer contacts and certifications to further strengthen 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

2 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Gensler operates as a professional services firm specializing in architecture and design, serving a diverse set of sectors including real estate, hospitality, transportation, energy, healthcare, education, retail, and technology. Its business model revolves around providing design and consulting services globally, leveraging its extensive office network. The firm maintains a strong market position as a global leader, supported by its research institute and industry recognitions. The website content and structure indicate a focus on corporate clients and industry professionals, with a clear emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and urban development. The firm’s growth is supported by a broad partnership ecosystem and a commitment to thought leadership through research and insights.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers including HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Forms are secured with autocomplete disabled where appropriate. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No malware or phishing indicators were found. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documentation and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance certification disclosures and compliance statements to strengthen business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Matomo analytics, Sentry for error monitoring, Google Fonts, and Adobe Typekit for typography. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for mobile devices and accessibility standards. Performance is moderate with efficient use of multimedia content and lazy loading techniques. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical links. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust and professional online presence with opportunities for further optimization in performance and security transparency.
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.
