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

Johnson Pinney Architects is a London-based award-winning architectural and design studio with over 30 years of international experience. They specialize in luxury high-end residential, retail, and hospitality projects, offering tailored architectural and interior design services. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact details, social media engagement, and basic privacy and cookie compliance. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and embedding multimedia content. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though there is room for improvement in explicit security policies and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly impacts trust but does not overshadow the professional presentation and business legitimacy. Overall, the website reflects a mature, credible business with a solid digital footprint.

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

3 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 and design sectors, targeting affluent private clients and brands seeking bespoke architectural solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering comprehensive design and project management services, supported by a network of consultants and craftsmen. The firm holds RIBA certification, enhancing its market credibility. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized enterprise with a strong reputation in the luxury market segment. Marketing efforts include social media channels and HubSpot analytics integration, suggesting a data-driven approach to client engagement. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is a minor concern but may be due to privacy or registry issues rather than malicious intent.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, uses cookie consent banners, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks dedicated security policy pages and incident response contacts, which are best practices for transparency and user trust. The use of third-party scripts like HubSpot and Vimeo is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No immediate security vulnerabilities were detected in the content or scripts. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent and privacy policy presence. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security updates.
  5. Clarify domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to strengthen trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing modern web standards including responsive design, embedded Vimeo video backgrounds, and Typekit fonts. HubSpot scripts provide analytics and form handling capabilities. The site loads moderately fast with good SEO metadata and social media integration. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical stack is well-maintained with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Squarespace, ensuring reliable uptime and SSL management. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and add formal security documentation.
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.
