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

LAIX is a professional platform dedicated to showcasing architectural, engineering, and urbanism projects by Luxembourg architects and consulting engineers, primarily members of the Ordre des Architectes et Ingénieurs Conseils (OAI). The website serves as a promotional and informational hub for these professionals, highlighting their projects both within Luxembourg and internationally. The platform targets industry professionals, potential clients, and partners interested in Luxembourgish architectural and engineering expertise. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, incorporating modern web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and external services like Google Analytics and AddToAny for social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a moderate performance profile. However, some SEO and privacy compliance aspects could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and anonymizes IP addresses in Google Analytics, but lacks visible security headers and formal security or incident response policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, indicating a generally secure posture but with room for enhancement in security best practices and compliance documentation. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, with comprehensive project content and clear contact information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as security policies, represents compliance gaps that should be addressed to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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

LAIX operates as an important entity within the architecture and engineering sector in Luxembourg, functioning as a showcase and networking platform for OAI members. Its business model revolves around promoting member projects and facilitating connections with clients and partners. The platform leverages partnerships with related organizations such as OAI, Architectour, and official Luxembourg public sites, enhancing its market position. The presence of downloadable resources and multilingual content indicates a strategy to engage a broad audience. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and improving compliance and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, and Google Analytics is configured to anonymize IP addresses, reflecting privacy-conscious practices. However, the absence of security headers like Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits readiness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8, a mature and widely used CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and AddToAny for tracking and social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The absence of detailed hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business goals but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and SEO improvements.
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.
