Heap studio is a small creative digital agency based in Luxembourg specializing in web development, design, branding, and consulting services. The company positions itself as a success-oriented studio focused on delivering purposeful and targeted results for clients, primarily businesses and organizations seeking digital creative solutions. Their portfolio showcases a variety of projects emphasizing brand identity, UX/UI design, and front-end and back-end development. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern tools such as Yoast SEO and GSAP animations, hosted by Infomaniak, a reputable provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a professional design, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve in compliance and security transparency.

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

    • 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

  2. 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 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

Heap studio operates in the technology sector as a creative digital service provider with a focus on Luxembourg's local market. Their business model revolves around offering tailored digital solutions including branding, web development, and consulting. The company leverages a portfolio of diverse projects to demonstrate expertise and build credibility. Their partnership with the eco-responsible initiative grengeweb.lu indicates a commitment to sustainable web practices. The absence of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site suggests a small business scale. The LinkedIn presence supports professional networking and marketing. Growth potential lies in expanding compliance and security maturity to meet increasing client expectations.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption ensuring secure data transmission. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements, posing legal risks especially given the EU jurisdiction. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in policy transparency, header implementation, and incident readiness to strengthen trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish an incident response page or contact channel to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly platform. It uses GSAP for animations and Swiper.js for project sliders, enhancing user experience. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Luxembourg-based provider, aligning with the company's location. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. However, no advanced frameworks or backend technologies are explicitly identified. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts suggests a privacy-conscious approach but limits marketing insights. Technical debt appears low with no visible errors or broken elements. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement privacy compliance tools to modernize the technical infrastructure further.
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.
