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

Opfer Logan Architects is a Glasgow-based architectural firm with three decades of experience serving clients across the UK in sectors including commercial, retail, hospitality, education, heritage, and residential architecture. The company emphasizes relationship-driven architecture and holds ISO 9001 accreditation, indicating a commitment to quality management. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring good content quality and clear navigation, optimized for mobile devices. However, the absence of visible contact information, privacy policies, and cookie consent mechanisms indicates gaps in privacy compliance and user engagement. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response contacts. The domain WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy despite the professional web presence. Overall, the site reflects a credible small architectural business but requires improvements in transparency and compliance to enhance trust and security.

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

4 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

    • 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

  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 firm targets clients seeking architectural services in the UK, leveraging a business model focused on professional architectural design across multiple sectors. The market position is established with a long history and returning clients, supported by ISO 9001 certification as a trust signal. The company operates on a small scale, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website's content and branding are consistent and relevant to the industry. The lack of explicit contact details and privacy policies may limit customer engagement and regulatory compliance. No partnerships or related domains were identified from the website data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. Security headers beyond HSTS are not evident, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing comprehensive security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Fonts used include Roboto and Public Sans, loaded via web font services. The site is hosted by Squarespace, which provides SSL/TLS encryption and HSTS. Performance is moderate with standard Squarespace optimizations. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are properly configured. Accessibility features are basic but present. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers 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.
