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

Heyduk, Musil & Strnad, s.r.o. operates HMS Design, a well-established graphic design studio based in Prague, Czech Republic, founded in 2000. The company specializes in brand development and visual identity, offering a broad range of services including logos, graphic manuals, annual reports, campaigns, artistic publications, exhibition graphics, corporate profiles, web design, and film posters. Their portfolio of over 600 projects and multiple prestigious awards positions them as a reputable player in the creative design industry. The target audience primarily consists of businesses and organizations seeking professional branding and design services. Technically, the website is built with modern web standards, utilizing lazy loading for images and a carousel slider for portfolio display, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data but lacks explicit security headers and formal security policies, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which could pose regulatory risks. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness 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

7 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

  2. Security headers

    • High

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

HMS Design holds a strong market position as a specialized graphic design studio with a long operational history and a significant project portfolio. Their business model focuses on service delivery in creative branding and visual identity, targeting corporate clients and cultural institutions. The company leverages social media platforms like Instagram, Behance, and Vimeo to showcase their work and engage with the creative community. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies suggests an independent small business structure. Growth indicators include a diverse project range and recognition through awards. Strategic partnerships or payment processors were not identified in the provided data. The company’s operations appear focused on quality and reputation rather than aggressive marketing or affiliate programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS in place, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, while basic security is implemented, the site would benefit from adopting best practices in security headers, formal policies, and incident response readiness to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Incorporate a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with JavaScript libraries like lazysizes for lazy loading images and Splide.js for carousel functionality, contributing to fast loading times and good mobile responsiveness. The site structure is clear with well-defined navigation and meta tags supporting SEO. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected, suggesting a custom or static site deployment. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and responsive images. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility compliance and implement additional SEO best practices. Technical risks are minimal but could arise from missing security headers and lack of formal privacy controls.
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.
