Risk levelMedium

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

Malheur&Fortuna is a small Swiss architectural and urban planning firm based in Basel, specializing in projects, research, and publications related to urban infrastructure, architecture, and city planning. The company is founded by three architects with Master of Science degrees from ETH Zürich, indicating a high level of professional expertise. Their website reflects a niche market position targeting professionals and academics interested in urban design and infrastructure. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript modules and Google Analytics with IP anonymization, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly but lacks some accessibility features and security headers. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but the absence of privacy policy and terms of service pages represents a compliance gap. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

6 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 with a focus on architecture and urban planning services. Their business model appears project and research-driven, catering to a specialized audience in Basel and possibly broader Switzerland. The founders' credentials from ETH Zürich provide a competitive advantage and trust signal. The firm maintains a minimal digital footprint with limited social media presence (Instagram only) and no visible contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage, which may limit direct client engagement. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, supporting their market positioning as a boutique architectural research entity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, demonstrating good baseline security practices. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy policy or terms of service pages were found, which is a GDPR compliance shortfall. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The cookie consent banner is a positive indicator of privacy awareness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Include terms of service and security policy documents to clarify user and data handling practices.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript ES modules and CSS with a clean HTML5 structure. Google Analytics is integrated asynchronously with IP anonymization enabled, reflecting privacy-conscious analytics usage. The site is mobile optimized and includes meta tags for SEO and social media sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). No CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with no visible broken elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The absence of security headers is a technical risk. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
