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

Odd Matter Studio is a small, niche design studio based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, founded by Els Woldhek and Georgi Manassiev. The studio focuses on exploring materials, processes, and concepts to create unique design products, interiors, and commissions. Their market position is that of a creative and curious design entity targeting clients interested in innovative and place-specific design solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common libraries such as jQuery and Vue.js, and uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and using an outdated jQuery version, which poses some risk. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Business credibility is supported by clear contact information and company registration details. Overall, the website is professional but could improve in security and compliance areas.

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

8 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

The studio operates in the creative design sector, offering product and interior design services with a focus on material and process research. Their business model involves collaboration with existing industries to produce unique commissions. The company targets a niche audience of design enthusiasts and clients seeking bespoke design work. The domain age and registration data support the legitimacy and stability of the business. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and absence of social media presence may limit broader market reach and trust signals. There are no detected partnerships or subsidiaries. The company appears to be a standalone small business with a focused creative mission.

Security posture

The website has a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve domain security. Overall, the site is functional but requires improvements to meet modern security standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Update jQuery to the latest secure version to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Add security incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization. It uses jQuery 1.12.4 and Vue.js 2.5.21 for frontend interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking. The hosting provider is One.com A/S, consistent with the WHOIS data. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile optimized with responsive meta tags. Accessibility features are basic, with no explicit ARIA roles or landmarks detected. SEO is enhanced by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) using schema.org vocabulary. The site lacks modern security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could pose risks. No forms are present that collect user data directly on the homepage. Overall, the technical implementation is standard but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
