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

Outer Studio is a Lithuania-based branding and web design agency specializing in strategy-driven, innovative digital solutions for businesses of all sizes worldwide. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services including visual identity design, web design and development, UX/UI, motion design, and digital product creation. Their portfolio showcases collaborations with notable clients across various industries, supported by strong client testimonials and high ratings on platforms like Clutch and Google Reviews. Technically, the website is built on modern technologies such as Webflow CMS, GSAP animations, and integrates analytics and session recording tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, and SessionStack, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a cookie consent banner but lacks a dedicated privacy policy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness, though enhancing transparency around privacy and security policies would strengthen user confidence further.

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

7 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Cloudflare

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

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

Outer Studio operates as a specialized digital agency focusing on branding and web design, targeting businesses seeking strategic and innovative digital presence. Their business model centers on service delivery with a strong emphasis on quality and client satisfaction, evidenced by extensive client testimonials and repeat engagements. The company leverages a global client base while being headquartered in Lithuania, positioning itself as a boutique yet internationally capable agency. Their partnership ecosystem includes collaborations with clients in technology, e-commerce, and retail sectors, supported by integrations with platforms like Shopify and Calendly. The agency's growth indicators include a robust portfolio, high client ratings, and active engagement on creative platforms such as Behance and Dribbble. Strategic observations suggest a focus on maintaining high design standards and expanding digital product offerings to capture broader market segments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data detected in the HTML content. Use of modern, reputable libraries and frameworks reduces risk of vulnerabilities. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential areas for enhancement to mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No published security policy or incident response information limits transparency and preparedness perception. Privacy compliance is partially implemented via a cookie consent banner, but lack of a privacy policy page and GDPR-specific disclosures represents a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and readiness for security events.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify legal aspects of service delivery and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack primarily leveraging Webflow CMS for content management and hosting, complemented by JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Swiper for sliders. Integration with analytics and session replay tools like Google Analytics, Hotjar, and SessionStack indicates a focus on user behavior insights and performance monitoring. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and smooth scrolling implemented via Lenis. Performance is fast with efficient media usage and lazy loading. Accessibility features include focus-visible outlines and semantic HTML elements, though further ARIA enhancements could be considered. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data in JSON-LD format for video content. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, modern, and well-optimized for user experience.
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.
