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

Nicer Studio is a technology-focused product design and development agency that partners with scale-ups and Fortune 100 companies to help them operate like startups. They specialize in building new digital products, offering services including branding, product design, operational support, funding, talent acquisition, and AI guidance. The website demonstrates a professional and modern digital presence with a strong emphasis on user experience and visual design. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and is hosted on a CDN, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site presents a credible business front but would benefit from improved transparency and security documentation.

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

5 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.

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn

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

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 positions itself as a nimble yet experienced agency with over 9 years of operation and dozens of product launches, targeting high-growth startups and large enterprises. Their business model is service-based, focusing on end-to-end product development and operational support. The presence of client testimonials and a portfolio of trusted companies enhances credibility. The company leverages partnerships, such as with margins.co, and maintains active social media channels on LinkedIn and X. The lack of explicit contact information and domain registration details may impact client trust and should be addressed. The agency operates in the technology sector with a small team size, emphasizing agility and deep expertise.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a baseline security posture. However, no explicit security headers like Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. While no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML, the missing WHOIS data and lack of transparency on security practices reduce overall security confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  4. Register the domain properly and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available.
  5. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern front-end technologies including GSAP for animations and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Fonts are loaded via Adobe Typekit. The site is hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. Performance is fast with efficient image loading and smooth animations. However, the site lacks explicit security headers and privacy compliance documentation. There is no evidence of backend frameworks or server-side technologies from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and professional but could improve in security and compliance aspects.
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.
