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

Michaelis Boyd is a well-established architecture and interior design firm operating internationally from London and New York. The company specializes in creating thoughtful, nature-inspired spaces across residential, hospitality, and private club sectors. Their portfolio includes heritage restorations and luxury new builds, positioning them as a premium service provider in the design industry. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging technologies such as React, fullPage.js, and Google Analytics, hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare DNS services. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and longevity of the business. Strategic improvements in privacy disclosures and security headers would enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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

      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

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

Michaelis Boyd targets high-end clients in real estate and hospitality sectors, offering bespoke architectural and interior design services. Their market position is strong, supported by a long operational history and international offices. The business model focuses on project-based revenue from luxury developments and restorations. The firm maintains a consistent brand image and leverages social media for marketing. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found. The company appears to have a medium-sized operation with a focus on quality and innovation in design.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Cloudflare DNS, indicating a baseline secure infrastructure. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking without explicit privacy disclosures. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers and publishing security policies would improve maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Review and minimize user tracking to align with privacy best practices and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and fullPage.js, hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare DNS. The site loads moderate performance images and scripts, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but functional. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard for marketing analytics. No CMS version or outdated libraries were detected. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
