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

The business targets homeowners, commercial developers, and architects by offering renovation, consulting, project management, and digital resources such as an app and newsletter. The site is built on WordPress using a modern theme, providing a professional and visually appealing user experience with good mobile optimization and accessibility.

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 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 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

      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

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

Études positions itself as an innovative architectural service provider with a focus on sustainability and creativity. The business model revolves around professional services complemented by digital tools for collaboration and marketing. The website content is well-structured and relevant to its target audience, though it lacks detailed business contact information and certifications. The absence of analytics and advertising suggests a low reliance on marketing automation or third-party tracking, which may appeal to privacy-conscious users. The domain registration aligns with the hosting provider, reinforcing legitimacy. Growth potential could be enhanced by adding clearer contact channels and compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and minimal privacy policy details indicate potential GDPR compliance gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data protection officer contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.4 with the Twenty Twenty-Four theme, leveraging modern web standards including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses WordPress block editor features extensively for layout and content. The site loads external resources from WordPress CDN and the hosting provider's domain. Performance is moderate with no explicit performance optimization scripts detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with skip links and responsive navigation implemented. SEO basics are present but could be improved with richer metadata and structured data. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal data collection. Hosting is provided by WebCreators, s.r.o., consistent with domain registration.
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.
