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

KAWAHARA KRAUSE ARCHITECTS is a small, specialized architectural practice based in Germany, founded in 2007. The firm offers architectural design services, academic research, exhibitions, and publications, targeting clients interested in innovative and contextually rich architecture. The website is professionally designed using modern technologies such as Nuxt.js, Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, and Sanity CMS, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers, which are important for compliance and security. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and stability. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and moderately secure but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security practices.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

The company operates in the Real Estate sector focusing on architectural design and academic contributions. It maintains a niche market position with a focus on quality and contextual architecture. The business model includes project design, academic writings, and exhibitions, appealing to both clients and the academic community. The firm has no visible subsidiaries or parent companies. The website content quality is good with consistent branding, but lacks trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. The absence of contact details may limit direct client engagement. The company is well-established with a domain age of over 15 years, supporting its credibility.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No tracking or advertising scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing privacy and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  4. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and incident response.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, styled with Tailwind CSS, and content managed via Sanity CMS. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, likely due to high-resolution images and complex layouts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. No CMS-specific vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. Hosting appears stable with Cronon GmbH as registrar, consistent with the German location of the business.
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.
